The Louvre’s Galerie d’Apollon welcomes a few extraordinary creations by Yves Saint Laurent. The famous Parisian museum and five of its peers, invite us to discover the “Yves Saint Laurent in museums” exhibition from January 29 to May 15, 2022.

This is a compelling art event you do not want to miss in Paris: six museums team up and present the “Yves Saint Laurent in museums” exhibition. Each venue shines a light on a special feature of the work and universe of the famous designer. These institutions celebrate the 60th anniversary of the very first Yves Saint Laurent show, the perfect occasion for an XXL exhibition running from January 29 to May 15, 2022.

The Louvre shines as bright as a diamond: the Galerie d’Apollon unveils some of the most exceptional clothes designed by Yves Saint Laurent. The great designer was fascinated by gold and light that reflect the sun so well. Both of them have been added to creations thought by Yves Saint Laurent.

The designer was also interested in decorative arts and pomp, as one can discover in the exhibition held in the Louvre gallery. Although the designer drew inspiration in all cultures and art movements, he does not compromise with the essential: the beauty of his collections also enables to shine a light on French artisans’ know-how!

Art objects, haute-couture pieces and accessories: the Louvre pays tribute to Yves Saint Laurent’s exceptional work that contributed to make of France a country admired for its style and luxury.

From his very first shows, Yves Saint Laurent managed to influence French fashion. Always renewing himself, he spent his career playing with conventions, shapes, colors, to provide always surprising and innovative collections.

The “Yves Saint Laurent in Museums” exhibition is deployed in six major Paris museums, each one of them highlighting an aspect of the designer’s universe and character. Meet at the Centre Pompidou, the Musée national Picasso, the Museum of Modern Art, the Louvre and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum to discover the rest of the exhibition.
