The Broad in Paris
Frank Gehry's Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris. Photo: piotr iłowiecki, CC BY-SA 2.0. The Broad will be lending 164 works from its collection to the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris . Scheduled for summer 2027, the Paris loan will coincide with the closure of the Broad's top-floor galleries for construction. The expanded Broad is expected to open in 2028. The ground floor will remain open through construction. The Paris exhibition puts Eli Broad's collection in a Frank Gehry building. In the 1980s Broad hired Gehry, not yet a superstar, to design his Brentwood home. Broad grew impatient with the pace of Gehry's work and handed the working drawings to a commercial architect (Langdon Wilson) to finish. Gehry disowned the home and never set foot in it.
