La Maison Rouge

Fodor's Review:

Former gallery owner Antoine de Galbert established this exciting contemporary art foundation, where three shows a year bring private collections to the public eye. All are curated with real flair for contemporary trends -- a rarety for Paris galleries. The building itself is a treat: an industrial space cleverly redone and anchored by the original courtyard building, now painted bright red (hence the foundation's name). So far the only flaw is a comparative lack of information about the art being displayed -- a problem you can partly remedy by browsing in the gallery's excellent bookshop. There are free guided tours on Saturday at 4, but only in French.

  • Cost: EUR 4.50-EUR 6.50
  • Open: Wed.-Sun. 11-7, Thurs. 11-9
  • Metro: Quai de la Rapee/Bastille
