Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection
Tadao Ando inserted a concrete cylinder into the 18th-century circular exchange building, which now houses the Pinault family's contemporary art collection.
The Bourse de Commerce is an 18th-century circular building. Its dome still holds a 19th-century circular mural depicting trade across the five continents. After renovation by Tadao Ando, it reopened in 2021 as the Pinault Collection. At the center of the rotunda, Ando set a 9-meter-tall cylinder of exposed concrete, creating a striking tension between old and new. The museum displays the contemporary art collection of French businessman François Pinault, along with rotating special exhibitions. The top floor has a Michelin-starred restaurant. Tickets cost about 15 euros; closed on Tuesdays. On the first Saturday of each month, some afternoon time slots are free. Right next to the Louvre and Les Halles, Metro Line 4, Les Halles, or Line 1, Louvre–Rivoli station.
