59 Rivoli

Paris matches Berlin all the way when it comes to alternative cultural venues. Artists took over this abandoned former bank building 20 years ago. Right in the heart of Paris, they have made it a hotspot of urban culture and contemporary creation.

This building cannot be ignored! Its facade stands out among the regularity of the others on Rue de Rivoli: the artists decorate it to their tastes and install artistic creations each more original than the last. Climb the elegant spiral staircase covered in all genres of paintings and stop off on each floor to check out the artist’s gems. As you wander around one thing is certain, that you are sure to be impressed by this real cabinet of curiosities!

The decorations on the walls change at the will of its occupants and the artists in residence follow one after another. So each visit is unique! From oil painting to sculpture, mosaics to street art, all artistic disciplines sit side by side over 6 floors and make this place a real haven of originality right in the centre of Paris.
