This May, Paris will welcome a new museum to its already-impressive culture hub.
On the banks of the Seine River, next to the Invalides Bridge, Fluctuart will be the world’s first floating museum.
The sustainable three-storey floating structure will be entirely dedicated to urban art and will be free to enter and open all year round.
The first travelling exhibition to be showcased at the new age museum will be works from the urban artist Swoon – the name used by Caledonia Curry, an American classically trained visual artist and printmaker.
The museum will welcome artworks from both French and international urban artists, with at least three different exhibitions per year.
Fluctuart’s rooftop will offer panoramic views of the Grand Palais, located across the river, a brunch service, workshops and a space for children.
The museum was the winner of the 2017 ‘Réinventer la Seine’ (Reinvent the Seine) which saw the city of Paris look for projects that could revamp its iconic river. The plan is to launch 40 projects along the banks of the Seine and its canals – with Fluctuart being just one of the projects.
Fluctuart will open in May and will be free to the public. You can find it at 2 port du Gros Caillou, 75007 Paris, France, fluctuart.fr/
