About the Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection
The Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection is a renowned art museum in Paris.
Owned by the French billionaire businessman François Pinault, the museum is dedicated to showcasing his extensive art collection which includes works spanning various periods and styles.
The historic building was originally constructed in the 18th century as a commodities exchange and over the years it has undergone several transformations, serving various functions including as a grain market and a stock exchange.
In 2016, François Pinault acquired the building with the intention of converting it into a museum to house his private art collection. Pinault then commissioned renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando to lead the renovation and transformation of the Bourse de Commerce into a museum space.
