4K Paris 🇫🇷 : Louis Vuitton Foundation - How Is It Inside?

[@ingridllinas5612]

Love it! Spacious, contemporary design, plenty of light penetrates giving a natural ambiance.

Thanks for the articulate comment!

Excellent video! Excellent architecture by Frank O Gehry! ✨

[@archwalks]

Thank you very much! 👍🏻

[@midcenturymoldy]

I could spend all day photographing that!

[@archwalks]

Yes, it is a very iconic building!

[@this_is_deidra]

Loved this video, really inspired me to visit. May I ask what time of day you went or recommend for good lighting for photos of the architecture, etc?

[@archwalks]

We visited it at lunchtime in spring. At that time the queues are smaller and you can get in more easily. We think it's a good time for photos but it depends on the season.During the winter, perhaps, the visit should be brought forward.

@@archwalks perfect, thank you so much for the prompt advice!

[@elmadi7391]

Thanks for sharing…. just time in my first visit to your city. May I ask if there is a nearby Metro station nearby ? Thank you 🙏🏛

@@elmadi7391 "The Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris can be reached by shuttle bus every 20 minutes every day except Tuesday, departing from Place Charles de Gaulle, on the corner of Avenue de Friedland, near the Charles De Gaulle Etoile metro exit (exit avenue de Friedland). The shuttle costs €2."

@@archwalks Thank you very for your quick reply. Its helpful. I will check what Metro Line will I take from my hotel in Le Marais. The nearest to hotel is St Paul metro.

l'aspetto è sorprendente, molto originale, gli architetti devono aver capovolto tutto il cervello mentre disegnavano e calcolavano tutto questo. ben fatto!

Grazie

Zwei Mal nach Paris gereist nur dorthin. Eine Symphonie von Architektur. Ausgesprochen empfehlenswert.

[@archwalks]

Thanks

[@larrywilkes3818]

Fantastic...but what is it FOR?

[@archwalks]

It's a museum dedicated to hosting contemporary art!

[@larrywilkes3818]

@@archwalks So this is the opening? There appears to be nothing in it.

[@archwalks]

@@larrywilkes3818 The part of art exhibition is not filmed in this video, but currently there were the exhibition of Andy Warhol and Basquiat. We have concentrated on the architectural part. Thank you for your comments

[@larrywilkes3818]

@@archwalks That sounds great. It'a an astonishing building.

We are preparing a new video about very different parts of Paris - brutalist districts. If you can be interested - check our channel next weekend. Thank you for your comments!

[@archwalks]

The foundation is definitely worth visiting

lo unico que quiero es como científico que es mi sueño es que también francia sea mi todo😴🙂

[@disenoaxial7070]

Harto feo el edificio! Quizá similar a la impresión que daba la Torre Eiffel cuando se inauguró...🤔

[@archwalks]

The building is beautiful. Thanks for the feedback

[@mariavairo1640]

Y que me sigue dando hasta ahora !!!!😂

상당히 감각적으로 보이지만 난해한 측면이 많아 보입니다. 건축물은 풍화작용이 있어서 잘된 건축물은 인류의 유산으로 천년도 넘게 갈 수 있다는 생각을 한다면 다소 아쉬운 감이 있습니다. 그럼에도 잘 보여주셔서 감사드립니다. Sembra abbastanza sensuale, ma ci sono molti aspetti esoterici. Gli edifici sono soggetti agli agenti atmosferici Se si pensa che un edificio ben costruito possa durare più di mille anni come eredità dell'umanità, è alquanto deludente. Grazie per avermelo mostrato così bene.

[@archwalks]

감사합니다. 계속 팔로우하세요 :)

Музей смешанное впечатление производит. Местами шикарно, а местами очень средне.

[@archwalks]

Thank you for your feedback🌿

[@miketrebert7788]

Too much of the time, Mr Gehry is given way too much money to spend. His buildings are too often very show-offy and impractical, IMHO. The owners end up looking profligate. The buildings are often fascinating - but irresponsible. Super-wealthy clients should maybe spend a mere half-gazillion and direct the other half-gazillion to saving refugees and their children from drowning in the Mediterranean.

[@archwalks]

We recommend seeing the film "Gehry's vertigo" to learn how difficult it is to maintain these geometrically complex buildings. Thanks for comment!

The actual cost of the museum, initially projected to be €100 million, was revealed in 2017 to have been nearly eight times that sum. A November 2018 report of the Court of Audit indicated that from 2007 to 2014, building construction constituted the main activity of the Foundation. Earlier that month, FRICC, a French anti-corruption group, filed a complaint in court in Paris accusing the Louis Vuitton Foundation of committing fraud and tax evasion in the construction of its museum. It claimed the nonprofit branch of the LVMH conglomerate was able to deduct about 60% of the cost of the museum from its taxes and request tax refunds on some other costs. In all, FRICC claimed LVMH and the Louis Vuitton Foundation received nearly €603 million from the government toward the nearly €790 million construction costs of the museum.[4][5][6] In September 2019, the case was dismissed.

Can you cite the newspaper articles or judgments of what you are saying? Thank you
