At the end of 2025, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain is set to move into a new landmark building designed by the French architect Jean Nouvel. Located on the historic Place du Palais-Royal in Paris, the museum and structure represent an important new phase for the foundation and its history.They will have large bay windows that overlook the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Rue de Rivoli, and Place du Palais-Royal. The new site covers 8,500 square meters of public spaces, including 6,500 square meters of exhibition space, with five mobile platforms covering 1,200 square meters.Inside, the walls were almost nonexistent, allowing them to position and reposition their exhibitions as they and their artists envisioned. Now, this approach to design and architecture takes another leap, marking a fresh beginning at Place du Palais-Royal in Paris.from left to right: Chris Dercon, Managing Director, Jean Nouvel, Architect, Alain Dominique Perrin, President and Founder on the building site of the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain’s future premises, place du Palais-Royal, Paris | photo © Thibaut Voisin
