59 Rivoli

Nestled in the heart of Paris, 59 Rivoli stands as a vibrant alternative to the city’s more traditional cultural institutions. Originally an abandoned building, it was transformed into an artists’ squat before being purchased by the City of Paris in the early 2000s. Today, this unique space offers visitors the chance to observe artists at work in their studios and explore a dynamic array of rotating exhibitions by local Parisian artists. The building’s history and current use create a lively and engaging atmosphere for those interested in contemporary art.
