The 2025 VR experience: an immersive expedition into Frank Gehry’s architecture

Discover the VR Experience designed to give you a deeper understanding of Frank Gehry’s building. This immersive journey offers a new perspective on the architecture of the Fondation, allowing you to explore the design process and unexpectedly experience the "Glass Vessel" in its environment, along with the permanent artworks of Olafur Eliasson, Katharina Grosse, Ellsworth Kelly, Adrián Villar Rojas, and more.

  • An unprecedented sequence brings Frank Gehry’s initial sketch to life before your eyes, allowing you to grasp his creative genius.
  • The permanent artworks are integrated into the modelled mock-up of the Fondation, providing a more comprehensive and faithful overview of reality.
  • A cultural guide accompanies you throughout the experience, fostering genuine dialogue and answering all your questions.
  • After the virtual reality session, you will be offered a short architectural tour, from the cascade to the terraces.
