Calder exhibition at the Louis Vuitton Foundation: experience artistic Paris with The Lander

Staying in a The Lander apartment lets you enjoy the Calder exhibition at the Louis Vuitton Foundation while living an elegant, comfortable and very Parisian experience. From tickets and transport to restaurant bookings and a quiet place to unwind, everything can be coordinated through your private concierge.

Discovering Calder at the Louis Vuitton Foundation

Alexander Calder is a key figure in modern art: mobiles, suspended sculptures, bold colours and a very playful approach to space. An exhibition devoted to him at the Louis Vuitton Foundation offers a deep dive into this universe, where movement and balance are as important as matter.

The building itself is part of the visit. Designed by Frank Gehry on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne, its glass “sails” and fluid lines create a striking contrast with the surrounding greenery. Large volumes, light and terraces provide an ideal setting for Calder’s works, whether monumental stabiles or delicate mobiles hanging in the air.

Depending on the current programme, the exhibition may bring together major pieces, models and drawings, allowing visitors to understand how Calder moves from a sketch on paper to sculpture in space. Your The Lander concierge will brief you on the scenography and highlights of the show when you plan your stay.

From museum to home: staying with The Lander

After a rich exhibition, the feeling of “coming home” matters. The Lander offers luxury apartments in central, emblematic districts of Paris such as the Louvre, Champs-Élysées, Opéra, Le Marais, Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Faubourg Montmartre. You remain close to leading museums, galleries, flagship boutiques and theatres.

Each apartment is designed as a real living space: contemporary design, well-chosen furniture, quality materials, a fully equipped kitchen and areas to work or relax. The idea is to offer the privacy and freedom of a private home with the refinement and services of an upscale hospitality brand.

You also benefit from daily housekeeping, hotel-style amenities and, above all, a private concierge available before and during your stay. This makes it easy to integrate cultural outings like the Calder exhibition into your schedule without any logistical stress.

The Lander concierge: curating your cultural itinerary

The Lander concierge acts as a curator for your cultural programme. Ahead of your trip, or once you have arrived, you can request help with:

• checking dates, time slots and conditions for the Calder exhibition.
  
  
• booking tickets, including fast-track options when available.
  
  
• arranging private car transfers or taxis between your apartment and the Foundation;
  
  
• booking a guided tour or private docent, in French or English, if you would like deeper context.
  
  

Around the visit itself, the concierge can design a full day: lunch nearby, exhibition at the Louis Vuitton Foundation, then dinner or drinks in a district such as Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Le Marais or the Champs-Élysées. The goal is not to fill your schedule, but to create a fluid rhythm between art, city life and downtime in your apartment.

Practical tips for making the most of the exhibition

From The Lander’s central locations (Louvre, Champs-Élysées, Opéra and other historic districts), your concierge will suggest the most suitable route to reach the Louis Vuitton Foundation, by car or by public transport.

To get the best experience, it is generally wise to:

• avoid peak weekend hours when possible and favour weekday mornings;
  
  
• allow extra time to explore the outdoor areas and terraces of the Foundation;
  
  
• double-check opening hours and whether timed entry is required, as these can change with each exhibition.
  
  

Your concierge will handle these checks for you and provide a simple summary including tickets, schedule and route, so you can simply enjoy your day.
