ESPACE CULTUREL LOUIS VUITTON

If anyone’s ever given you stick about your increasing collection of LV luggage ‘essentials’, send them packing. Or send them here, to the seventh floor of Louis Vuitton’s Parisian flagship, where a wealth of educational and artistic material beckons, sure to soften even the most prudent of hearts. Taking ‘travel’ as its main theme, this cultural centre (a bit of a hidden gem and reachable only by a blacked out elevator from Danish-Icelandic wunderkind artist Olafur Eliasson) puts on exhibitions that take visitors on journeys all around the world including Easter Island, Korea, a trip down the Silk Route and most recently a voyage of internal discovery. If your heart doesn’t sing ‘yes!’ to that monogrammed suitcase now, we can’t help you.
