Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain
After forty years on boulevard Raspail the Cartier foundation reopened in October 2025 across from the Louvre, in a Haussmann block Jean Nouvel fitted with five mobile exhibition platforms that rise and sink through the floors on hydraulic rams.
Go Tuesday evening — it stays open to 22:00; the moving platforms are best watched from the upper level.
