The Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection opened in May 2021 inside a former 18th‑century grain hall turned commodities exchange (1889), now transformed into a major contemporary art museum by collector François Pinault and architect Tadao Ando.

Its iconic circular plan topped by a glass and iron dome houses a central 9 m tall concrete cylinder, creating a sublime dialogue between historic architecture and minimalist contemporary design. The renovation, carried out from 2017 to early 2020, involved Ando, Pierre‑Antoine Gatier and architects NeM/Niney‑Marca .

Pinault’s collection comprises around 10,000 artworks, from photography and painting to video, sculpture and sound works. With up to ten exhibitions per year—temporary, thematic or solo shows—the museum also hosts commissioned works and artist‑led projects. In 2025, major shows include “Corps et âmes”, exploring the human figure through a hundred works, and Céleste Boursier‑Mougenot’s immersive rotunda installation “clinamen”.

The museum is fully inclusive and accessible, offering guided tours in multiple languages (French, English, German, Italian, Spanish, LSF), downloadable audioguides, tactile models, braille labels, induction loops, mobility aids and family‑friendly equipment.

Opening hours: Monday–Sunday (closed Tuesday) from 11 am to 7 pm, extended until 9 pm on Fridays, with a free evening on the first Saturday of each month from 5 pm to 9 pm. Closed May 1 and other holidays. Time‑slot booking is mandatory for all visitors (except for some priority groups such as visitors with disabilities). Average visit lasts about 90 minutes.

Admission: standard rate €14–15; reduced rate €10 (youth, students, unemployed, educators); free for under‑18s, low‑income visitors, artists, etc.; and no reservation required for persons with disabilities and some accredited professionals.

The museum appeals to a diverse audience including art lovers, architecture enthusiasts, families and cultural explorers. The atmosphere blends contemplative minimalism under Ando’s cylinder and dynamic engagement through exhibitions, lectures and performances. A 284‑seat auditorium hosts talks, performances and screenings.

The La Halle aux Grains restaurant, located on the third floor under the dome, by chefs Michel and Sébastien Bras, offers panoramic views into the rotunda and across Paris rooftops—a refined complement to the visual art journey.

Interesting detail: architect Tadao Ando, self‑taught, first met François Pinault via Karl Lagerfeld in the late 1990s; their creative partnership culminated in the realization of this long‑awaited Paris museum.
