Kering to open its headquarters to the public
Luxury leathergoods group Kering is to take part in the 2017 edition of European Heritage Days on September 16 and 17 by opening the doors of its headquarters, at 40 rue de Sèvres in Paris, to the public.

Visitors will be able to see a selection of contemporary artwork from the private collection of Kering chief executive, François-Henri Pinault, and see haute-couture creations from the archives of Basque fashion designer Cristóbal Balenciaga. A virtual reality journey into the history of the site will also be on offer to visitors.

European Heritage Days is a cultural event that began in 1984. It offers people across Europe opportunities to visit buildings, monuments and sites of cultural significance, many of which are not normally accessible to the public.
