Every detail, from the slats to the metal corners, from the rivets to the buckles, testifies to Louis Vuitton's unrivalled expertise.

In the heart of the Galerie de la Maison de Famille, the exhibition transports us through time, with tales of extraordinary journeys, embodied, from the very first room, in 21 Louis Vuitton trunks, dating from 1865 to 2024. Among them, three are dedicated to sport: a Pickleball trunk designed by Virgil Abloh, a trunk created in collaboration with the NBA and the famous Supreme trunk from the Homme FW 2017-2018 fashion show by Kim Jones.

Upstairs, a"cabinet of curiosities" reveals various facets of the House (sport, architecture, bibliophily, exploration, innovation, special orders, childhood, play, monogram canvas, upcycling...), alongside an installation showcasing the expertise of Louis Vuitton's leather goods workshops.
