Can’t come to the Fondation Louis Vuitton? Then the Fondation will come to you!
Starting Saturday, 27 November, the Fondation is offering Live Tours (a 360° online tour platform with live, real-time commentary by a qualified guide) featuring the exhibition “The Morozov Collection. Icons of Modern Art” and the building’s architecture by Frank Gehry.
Live Tours – first introduced in October 2020 when the Fondation closed to give everyone the opportunity to see the “Cindy Sherman” exhibition from home – are now being expanded so that people who are unable to travel to Paris, particularly due to the pandemic, can still experience the Fondation and enjoy the exhibition.
Now, given the public’s enthusiastic reception of the Morozov Collection exhibition since it opened on 22 September 2021, the Fondation Louis Vuitton is eager to provide even greater access to both the exhibition and the building’s architecture by again making available this innovative, easy-to-use remote tour platform, which requires only an internet connection, whether in France or abroad.
**The Live Tour is an original, immersive experience to be enjoyed live from home. It allows interactions between a qualified guide and other online visitors in a fun and enlightening group outing as you explore the Fondation’s architecture and current exhibitions. Using a computer or tablet, the public can experience the exhibition tour itinerary in 360° HD video with commentary from an expert guide, or see the building from new and exciting angles.**
The Live Tour is designed for everyone, whether groups of friends, families, school groups, non-profit organisation employees or volunteers in social domains assisting persons unable to come physically to the exhibition (hospitals, retirement homes, prisons, etc.). The Fondation Louis Vuitton cares deeply about welcoming visitors from all walks of life throughout the year, with special focus on schoolchildren, visitors with disabilities and persons unable to attend due to life circumstances.Live Tours can also be made available to companies and professional groups as a team-building experience in which employees discover an exhibition or the building’s architecture together.
Live Tours are also available in English for international visitors unable to come to the Fondation to tour the building or exhibition. Other languages can also be made available upon request.
