The Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain has been based in Paris since 1994 in the building designed by the architect Jean Nouvel, all in transparency and reflections.
both creative space for artists and meeting place between art and the general public, the Cartier Foundation aims to encourage contemporary creation and to disseminate knowledge. Each year, the Cartier Foundation organises thematic or personal exhibitions and then passes control to the artists, enriching an important collection.
On the mezzanine floor of the Fondation Cartier, a bookshop offers a wide selection of art books.
