Architecture of the Louis Vuitton Foundation Museum in Paris

The glass building, which resembles a sailing ship, has 12,000 m² distributed over two floors, an auditorium and eleven galleries. It was designed by the architect Frank Gehry, famous Canadian architect who won the Pritzker Prize and recognized for works such as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Golden Fish in the Olympic Port of Barcelona.
