Nuit blanche

The evening unfolds through the various itineraries and discussions that accompany this year’s theme, exploring Exposition Générale under the banner of love, attention, and relationships with others. Self-guided tours, conversations with the docents present in the galleries, and “Éclair” tours—renamed “Coup de foudre” tours for the occasion—offered every 30 minutes, invite visitors to revisit the works through the lens of connection and attachment, while a workshop open to all offers a time for artistic practice to be enjoyed alone or with friends.  

Echoing the theme chosen for this unique evening, the Fondation Cartier continues its dialogue with the architectural and historical legacy of its new building through the Architectural Odyssey project. This project revives the spirit of the iconic 2000s nightclub that once occupied Le Louvre des Antiquaires, designed by Ora Ito as a futuristic environment inspired by science fiction. Designed in collaboration with Matéo Garcia Studio (sound design) and Matière Noire (lighting design), this immersive program takes over the Studio Marie-Claude Beaud, where light and sound structure the space and showcase the architecture.
