Musee Yves Saint Laurent Paris

For a genuinely exclusive experience, come and discover (or re-discover), before the public opening of the Musée (11am), the world of fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, who has left his mark on fashion history. The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris opened its doors in October 2017 on the historic site of the former haute couture house. The first museum of this size entirely dedicated to the work of one of the most famous couturiers of the 20th century, it showcases, over more than 450m², both the creative genius of the couturier and the process of creating an haute couture collection. A true pioneer, Yves Saint Laurent is the only creator of his generation to have archived all his work since the establishment of his company. As a result, the museum's collection includes more than 5,000 haute couture models.
