The Jardin des Tuileries is not only a historic landscape but also a dynamic setting for contemporary art. Within its classical geometry, modern sculptures and installations create a dialogue between past and present. Works by artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Jean Dubuffet, and Yayoi Kusama punctuate the formal gardens with bold contrasts of color, texture, and form. These pieces reframe the park’s symmetry and order, inviting visitors to experience the familiar landscape through new perspectives. The contemporary artworks are integrated thoughtfully among fountains, tree-lined paths, and historic vistas, making art an everyday encounter rather than a museum-bound experience. This interplay between the traditional and the avant-garde transforms the Tuileries into a living gallery—one that reflects Paris’s enduring role as a city of innovation, where history serves as a foundation for ongoing artistic exploration.
DESCRIPTION:
The Olympic cauldron will be in the gardens during the summer until at least 2028.
