Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection

Picture a circular building, almost unique in the Parisian landscape, located a few steps from the bustling Forum des Halles and the Musée du Louvre. After Venice and the Palazzo Grassi, the Teatrino and the Pointe de la Douane, it is in this former 18th-century corn exchange, fully restored and transformed into a museum by the great Japanese architect Tadao Ando that the new Pinault collection has opened its doors on 22 May 2021.

A new Parisian temple dedicated to contemporary art

The famous businessman has acquired this new space to share his vision as a collector and his love of contemporary art. Thematic hangings of work, monographic exhibitions, new productions, commissions, carte blanches… the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection is open to all artistic disciplines and audiences, with the intention of attracting connoisseurs and anyone looking to discover something new. Because art is above all diverse, there will also be a schedule of regular events featuring conferences, guided tours, workshops, screenings, concerts, and performances.

For its inaugural exhibition, the Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection has invited some thirty artists, more than a third of whom are being presented for the first time by the collection, to take over the ten exhibition spaces, inside and outside the building. Under the title "Ouverture", the exhibition presents approximately 200 works - paintings, sculptures, videos, installations, photographs and performances - which resonate with the beauty of the site.

The Restaurant-Café La Halle aux Grains, a new gourmet establishment in the heart of Paris

François Pinault has entrusted Michel and Sébastien Bras with the management of "La Halle aux Grains". From its third floor location, the restaurant offers both an interior view of the heart of the building and an exterior view of the city, stretching over the church of Saint-Eustache, the Canopée des Halles, as well as the Saint-Jacques Tower and the Paris rooftops beyond. Magical!
