About this tour

This timed entry ticket gets you into the Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection, a contemporary art museum set inside a former Paris grain exchange. The old circular building was reworked by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, who dropped a plain concrete cylinder right inside the historic rotunda beneath its glass dome. Your ticket covers general admission to all the current shows, where paintings, sculptures, photography, and video and sound installations rotate through the year. An audio guide app in six languages is included, so you can explore at your own pace.

Visiting the Bourse de Commerce: Hours, Dress Code and Getting There

The building itself is half the reason to come. Tadao Ando's renovation set a bare concrete cylinder inside the original 19th-century rotunda, and the contrast between his smooth grey walls and the restored glass dome above is the first thing most people notice. The cylinder's central space usually holds large-scale installations, while galleries across the upper and lower floors show painting, sculpture, photography, video and performance work. Look up for the painted panoramic frieze at the base of the dome, which depicts scenes of world trade from the building's days as a commercial exchange. The upper floor has a restaurant with city views, and most visitors spend somewhere between one and two and a half hours here.

The museum sits at 2 Rue de Viarmes in the 1st arrondissement, a short walk from the Louvre, the Centre Pompidou and the Tuileries. The nearest stop is Chatelet - Les Halles, served by Metro lines 1, 4, 7, 11 and 14 and RER lines A, B and D, with several bus routes close by too. Opening hours run from late morning to early evening, roughly 11:00 to 19:00, with later closing on some days and a weekly closure usually on Tuesdays; hours shift by season and exhibition, so check the current schedule before you go. There's no formal dress code, but wear comfortable shoes since you'll be on your feet moving between floors, and plan to arrive a few minutes ahead of your timed slot.

FAQs

What kind of art is shown at the Bourse de Commerce?

It's contemporary art, from the 1960s to today, drawn from the private collection of French businessman Francois Pinault. The shows rotate through the year, so what's on display depends on when you visit.

Is the museum accessible for visitors with reduced mobility?

Yes. Lifts reach all the exhibition floors, and the museum has facilities for visitors with reduced mobility. Staff on site can point you to specifics.

Is an audio guide included?

Yes. Your ticket includes an audio guide app in six languages that you access online on your own phone, so you can explore at your own pace.

Can I take photos inside?

Photography without flash is generally fine for personal use in most galleries. A few specific works or temporary shows may restrict it, and that will be marked.

Is there somewhere to eat at the museum?

Yes. There's a restaurant on the upper floor serving refreshments, with views over the city.

Can I store my bags?

There's a cloakroom for coats, small bags and umbrellas. Large luggage and oversized items generally aren't allowed and can't be stored.

How often do the exhibitions change?

The museum runs temporary shows that rotate through the year rather than a fixed permanent display. Each exhibition usually runs for several months.

What was the Bourse de Commerce building before it became a museum?

It started as a grain exchange and later became the city's commercial exchange, a circular building topped with a glass dome near the old Les Halles market district. It reopened as a museum in 2021 after Tadao Ando's renovation.

Should I book a timed ticket in advance?

Yes. Booking a timed ticket online ahead of time helps you skip the wait at the door, which matters most on weekends and during popular exhibitions.

Where is the Bourse de Commerce located?

At 2 Rue de Viarmes in the 1st arrondissement, a short walk from the Louvre, the Centre Pompidou and the Jardin des Tuileries, so it's easy to fit into a day in central Paris.
