The Xiaobian of the network introduces the new landmark of Paris: the LV Museum.

Fondation Louis-Vuitton, the high-profile Louis Weedon foundation, has finally opened to the public.

The magnificent building, enveloped in glass clouds, is located on the west side of Paris's Forest Park. It looks like a future spacecraft from the earth, designed by Frank Gehry, the architect.

According to reports, LVMH Mo t Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the 65 year old chairman and chief executive Bernard Arnault, cut the ribbon for the museum. He and the 85 year old Gehry hope that this building will make a positive contribution to the cultural heritage.

This museum is of great significance in many aspects.

The first large private funded cultural institution in France

In France, most of the art centers such as museums and opera houses are controlled by the government. According to the land agreement signed with the Paris municipal government, the ownership of the museum will be owned by the government in 55 years.

LVMH avoided the usual objections to architecture in the park, although the museum's exaggerated design caused some people's resentment, which is actually a gift of $134 million to the city of Paris.

In France, Arnault is considered to be a merciless businessman. His family run Louis Vuitton has been swallowed up at the beginning of her declining trend.

His sharpness led LVMH to become the largest luxury group in the world. He himself became a $28 billion 700 million and ranked twentieth in the Bloomberg billionaire index.

This museum is part of Arnault's public relations campaign to show his inner soft side and his commitment to protecting cultural heritage.

Milestone in digital manufacturing

The museum's designer, Gehry, is not very well known.

Critics have different opinions about his work, and the old man who behaves in anger is not very popular.

Recently, at a news conference in Spain, public criticism of 98% of contemporary architecture is shit.

No matter what you think of Gehry, there is at least one thing that he deserves to commend: the definition of unique aesthetics rooted in digital computing.

Taking the digitalization of Gehry to a new height: the news from his office said that more than 400 people were involved in the online crowdsourcing project of the 3D digital model of the building, and 3600 pieces of glass panels and 19000 pieces of cement boards on the surface of the building were simulated and cast by industrial robots.

Gehry said the glass structure echoed with the nineteenth Century glasshouse.

But he also joined in the image of the sea that he had always been fascinated by.

He called the rectangular block containing the gallery space "iceberg".

In 2007, he also designed the building for IAC group headquarters, similar to the iceberg.

The 12 glass panels covered with icebergs are all sails. This symbolism is also used in the design of the Disney Concert Hall in Losangeles in 2003.

"If you look at the Disney Concert Hall from the front," said the designer, "it's like an open wing. This is the two Zhang Fan, where you are at the helm."

It will be a museum of modern art to display the works of French and overseas artists collected by the Louis Weedon foundation in 20th Century and 21st Century.

The Museum covers an area of 11700 square meters, with 11 galleries and a concert hall for performing arts activities.

From the rooftop of the museum, you can have a look at the park surrounded by trees.
