Musée Yves Saint-Laurent, offering guided tours led by guide-lecturers, with a retrospective tour
The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris showcases the couturier's work in the historic setting of his former couture house, through a retrospective tour and thematic temporary exhibitions presented in succession. The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris opened in October 2017, more than fifteen years after the closure of the haute couture house. It occupies the historic mansion at 5 avenue Marceau, where Yves Saint Laurent's creations were born for almost 30 years, from 1974 to 2002. Covering over 450 m², a constantly renewed presentation, alternating between retrospective and thematic temporary exhibitions, reflects the wealth of the unique heritage of the Fondation Pierre Bergé - Yves Saint Laurent. The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris reflects both the designer's creative genius and the process of creating his haute couture collections. But more than just a monographic museum, it also bears witness to the history of the twentieth century, and to haute couture, which was part of a certain art de vivre that has now disappeared. Scenographer Nathalie Crinière and decorator Jacques Grange, who have both collaborated on numerous Fondation projects, have redesigned the exhibition spaces in the original atmosphere of the haute couture house. When it opened, the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris was the first museum on this scale devoted to the work of one of the twentieth century's greatest couturiers.
