Musée Yves Saint-Laurent, offering guided tours led by guide-lecturers, with a retrospective tour
The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris exhibits the work of the famous couturier in the historic location of his former couture house, through a retrospective tour and thematic temporary exhibitions. The museum opened in October 2017, more than fifteen years after the house closed. It occupies the historic mansion at 5 avenue Marceau, where Yves Saint Laurent's creations were born for almost 30 years, from 1974 to 2002. Over 450 m², a constantly renewed presentation, alternating between retrospective and thematic temporary exhibitions, reflects the wealth of the unique heritage of the Fondation Pierre Bergé - Yves Saint Laurent. The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris is as much about the designer's creative genius as it is about the creative process behind his haute couture collections.
But more than just a monographic museum, this space is also a witness to the history of the 20th century and of haute couture, which accompanied a certain art of living that has now disappeared. Scenographer Nathalie Crinière and decorator Jacques Grange, who have both collaborated on numerous Fondation projects, have redesigned the exhibition spaces in the original atmosphere of the haute couture house. When it opened, the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris was the first museum on this scale devoted to the work of one of the 20th century's greatest couturiers, the man who introduced the women's tuxedo in 1966.

展示されている服や小物のエレガントなデザインに大感動。
ショップで買ったノート、値札が付いてないけどそんなに高くないだろうと思ったら15€(2400円)、ノートといえど価格はイヴ・サン・ローランでした。小冊子が5€とか10€だったので油断していました。
まさか自分の人生でイヴ・サン・ローラン(美術館のですが)の紙袋を持つ日が来るとは。
日本に戻ってから、イヴ・サン・ローランのことを色々と調べました。彼のデザイン哲学の素晴らしさに感動しました。
En revanche, deux points négatifs :
- pour les fidèles qui paient la visite à chaque fois (12€ tout de même), seule la moitié du musée est rafraîchie pour les expositions temporaires, l'autre moitié reste la même. Personnellement, payer le plein tarif à chaque visite pour voir 50% de nouveautés me décourage.
- il y a énormément de monde. Malgré réservation, nous avons fait quasiment 30 minutes de queue dehors sous la pluie en semaine et le musée était plein à craquer ! Impossible de circuler. Le pire étant le bureau de Yves Saint Laurent, qui est sans issue sans que ce soit clairement indiqué. Les gens s'y entassent pour se prendre en photo dans le miroir couvrant tout un pan de mur, se mettre en scène devant les tables, etc. Impossible d'y circuler sans attendre que des dizaines de personnes terminent de boucher le chemin avec leurs photos. Le parcours pourrait être optimisé.
