The event, on September 17 and 18, will feature contemporary works of art from the Pinault Collection in the chapel. 

This edition will also include 50 original prototypes from Cristóbal Balenciaga’s Haute Couture collections from 1938 to 1968, which are on display in the Croix Est area of Laennec.

François-Henri Pinault, Kering CEO, said: “I’m delighted that this exceptional space, created in the reign of Louis XIII, is opening every year to an ever-larger audience. And I like the idea that these visitors - who feel such an attachment to the heritage buildings handed down over the centuries – will be able measure the extent to which today’s creators are continuing the great adventure of art and civilization.”
