THE BUILDING

Installed in an exceptional 2200 square metre (23,500 sq.ft.) building designed by the architect Renzo Piano, the Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé Foundation is located on Avenue des Gobelins in Paris, at the former location of the Théâtre des Gobelins with its conserved façade, sculpted by Auguste Rodin around 1869.

The structure, with its organic design, sets itself apart with its elegant curves which espouse the Haussmann-era buildings.
