Built in the 18th century, the Bourse was converted into the Paris stock exchange in 1854.
Restored by architect Tadao Ando it has been the exhibition site of the Pinault Collection since 2021.
The Bourse features a stunning double helix staircase designed by Nicolas Mezieres. It was built to facilitate the movement of porters carrying heavy sacks of corn.

“TURISTI” by Maurizio Cattelan. The pigeons rest on the balustrade.
