Fantastic architectural building.
But not practical for the receipt of thousands of people every day.
It hosts fantastic exhibitions though. Always worth the detour.
Reservation is recommended.

Went for the Rothko exhibition. Was wonderful. Not overly crowded on a Friday afternoon with the exception of Gallery 9 that had a LONG queue
Can not talk water bottles in any more. They cost check them!
Blue Bus was great.

Blue Bus was great.
Not my first time visiting but Fondation Louis Vuitton never fails to impress. Gorgeous architectonic building (visit the roof!) with extensive Mark Rothko exposition. It was a busy time (make sure to buy tickets in advance) - sunday at noon, therefore a little more crowded than I like, but lines were quick and easy. Strongly recommend!
The building looks stunning from the outside . Worth visiting just for that. We went to see the Rothko exhibition. We had booked tickets in advance, but it does not seem to make a lot of difference, we still had to queue outside to go through security (airport style!). Liquids are not allowed inside so be warned. I had to throw away my bottle of water (almost empty, but still). the queuing area is outside and with no shelter, we were lucky it wasn't raining at the time but this could definitely be improved.
The exhibition was really well curated and organised, but some of the rooms were very crowded as the time slots don't seem to have anything to do with how many people they allow in at the same time. Also, it was on multiple floors so a lot of stairs. There are lifts, but they looked rather small so not sure how accessible the building is.

The building is beautiful, the collections and exhibitions (Rothko) fantastic. But you have to bear the crowds! It is always full, you rarely can enjoy a piece because it is impossible to stand in front of one. On top of it there are always guided groups being loud, so you get to hear their explanations even if you don’t appreciate the opinion of the guide in turn. Or the school teachers that put loud music so that the kids can dance in front of the paintings… If only one could choose like from 9 to 11 in the mornings for quiet time (NO tours) it would be so much better…
Went to the Rothko exhibition there and what an amazing experience! The building is an architectural tour de force with good lighting, beautiful exhibition spaces and some nice terraces. Outside is a mesmerizing cascade which visitors will appreciate best when looking at it from the inside. There's a kid room where you can also relax on some bean bags. In that same room they were showing a very informative documentary about Rothko, which we saw after our tour from a balcony.
Breathtaking museum inside and out. Exhibitions are always build with quality in mind. It's such a pity in such a gorgeous and recent building that still there are line ups in the ladies restrooms. As well as universal accessibility. We're in 2023! Architects should really work with inclusivity in mind...
If the access is a little better, it's a better museum. During the period without exposition, we can visit the building for 4 euros.
Impressive building, whose only purpose seems to be to tell you how impressive it is🤔😂... not sure I totally 'got' it...but was amazed by the architecture...priced really cheap, and that included entry to the Jardin d'Acclimatation ....well worth a visit
The architecture of the building is really cool and with your ticket you also get access to the jardin d’acclimatation next door. I loved the Warhol x Basquiat exhibition, the amount of artworks were incredible. The museum is accessible for wheelchairs and people with less mobility. There are benches to sit on in some of the galleries but not all. The museum was super busy when I went, I booked a ticket and still had to queue and inside it was hard to see some of the artwork because there were so many people, especially with the guides being done. There is a viewing area on the top floor to enjoy the view. Most information in french and English but not all. The man at the desk was not friendly when I spoke to him (he didn’t speak, just pointed).
Great place to spend a few hours in the company of great art. I visited for the Basquiat x Warhol exhibition and had a blast. The building is an example of monumental modern architecture. Not my taste but impressive nevertheless. The rainbow clad hall was an oasis of calmness and a perfect place to relax. Gets very crowded, so book your tickets wisely.
The building itself is intriguing and the view from the terrace lovely. I'm not a big fan of modern art, but found the Warhol x Basquiat exhibition quite interesting. You can download the app that containes a free audioguide, which really helped understand the meaning behind some of the works, but it's a shame that only selected paintings were talked about.
Such a beautiful place with insightful exhibitions. The foundation always promotes new outlooks and perspectives on artists’ work, offering guided tours to delve even further in the motivations and meaning behind the pieces.
The Foundation itself is a beautiful building with a stunning view on the defense and on paris, a must see!!
I would advise to get your tickets in advance and be there on time- being early won’t allow you to enter the foundation before the time on your ticket but you will be first in the line!

What an incredible space. Very easy to find. Signposted directly from the Metro and less than an 10 minute walk to the Foundation.
Bought tickets at the ticket office and very easy to entry.
The usual X-Ray machines at the entrance as with almost every public building in Paris now.
The space is absolutely stunning and MASSIVE. Unfortunately ALL of the up escalators were out of order on the day we visited, though those running down were all functioning perfectly.
A completely inspiring and exhausting visit!!

Interesting building with amazing views.
Staff are friendly and very professional.
From a non-artist perspective, the galleries inside seemed boring, however, the group I was with were mainly architects whom really enjoyed the exhibitions.
All in all, if you don't come from an artistic background, don't go, you'll be disappointed.
