Exhibition : Exposition Générale at the Fondation Cartier - From October 25 to August 23, 2026

Categories : Exhibitions, published on : 4/20/26

With its collection brought together over the course of the Fondation's exhibitions, Exposition Générale looks back at forty years of contemporary art at the Fondation Cartier. In reactivating its building's social, cultural, and architectural heritage and its openness to the town, it draws an alternative map of contemporary art, initiating an innovative approach to exhibitions, thanks to its new architectural layout designed by Jean Nouvel.

A new map of contemporary creation

The Fondation Cartier's collection, a reflection of the institution's history, programme, and openness to the world in all its diversity, charts forty years of international contemporary creation. With emblematic works and elements chosen from exhibitions that have infused its programme since its creation in 1984, the Exposition Générale presents the guiding principles of this unique heritage. It reveals the lively character of a collection which, throughout the Fondation's history, has been brought together thanks to the exhibitions held there.
