Have you heard of the new Paris art museum, the Bourse de Commerce? Check out the interior by Tadao Ando [From Cities: Admiring the Cities of the World, Vol. 11]

Jul 26, 2021



Museum-exclusive merchandise is a must-see! Visit the "Book Corner" for related publications.


The "Book Corner" on the first floor features approximately 250 different books, ranging from collections of works by the artists who created the exhibits to books related to the architecture and history of the Bourse de Commerce. In addition to postcards, tote bags, and stationery, which are popular souvenirs from the museum, you can also purchase souvenirs unique to the museum, such as a recipe book by Chef Bras from the restaurant and various types of grain-containing tablet chocolates.




These are unique gloves and a metal ruler. These are some of the artistic everyday objects by the company We do not work alone. Each pair of cotton gloves has a different word printed on it: "Love" and "Hate." A closer look at the inch and centimeter rulers reveals that the sums of the formulas printed on them add up to the same total—a witty touch.

From the exhibitions to the shop, the Bourse de Commerce is packed with things to see. Visitors are sure to find something that strikes a chord with visitors. Add this Parisian art spot to your travel wish list, with future developments and approaches not to be missed.

Finally, here's a comment from our staff member based in Paris after completing this report.

《From: Paris-based staff》
I had visited this building recently for a fashion exhibition, and what struck me most was how the renovation preserved the familiar details of this historic building. As I walked to the center, I was drawn in by the circular space bathed in natural light and the beautiful shape of the dome. The objects on display also seem to melt away as they stand quietly in the flow of time. The harmony of space and time created a mysterious feeling. The collected works are contemporary art, which is often thought to be difficult to understand, but they give the impression of being pieces that you have seen somewhere before. As the times change, perhaps we unconsciously resonate with art through the filter reflected in fashion and culture.


When the day comes when we can travel abroad freely again, I hope you will visit the Bourse de Commerce, introduced in this article.
