The Giacometti Museum & School will open in Paris in 2028, within the former Invalides railway station.

 

The museum will house the exceptional collection of nearly 10,000 works held by the Alberto and Annette Giacometti Foundation, as part of an ambitious project combining a permanent exhibition, temporary exhibitions dedicated to modern and contemporary art, and an art school open to all.

 

Following three years of museum advisory work with the Giacometti Foundation and all the project’s stakeholders and architects, the Studio is now responsible for the scenographic design of the museum’s permanent galleries and their interior fit-out.

 

The permanent exhibition space, spanning more than 1,000m² and punctuated by large glazed openings, provides an exceptional setting in the heart of Paris. A true lantern overlooking the city, the architecture of the former station will enter into dialogue with a scenography that invites visitors to extend their gaze between the artworks and the Parisian landscape.
