The Vibe:Frank Gehry's glass sails over the Bois
Frank Gehry wrapped this contemporary-art museum in twelve glass sails at the edge of the Bois de Boulogne. It opened in 2014 as LVMH's cultural foundation.
Light bends through 3,600 curved glass panels onto white galleries. Water cascades below the terraces, and the park spreads out beyond.
