At the old Barney's.    660 Madison Avenue.

NYC marks the fourth and final destination of Louis Vuitton’s 200 TRUNKS, 200 VISIONARIES: THE EXHIBITION, celebrating Louis Vuitton’s bicentennial birthday. The exhibition first launched at the Louis Vuitton family house in Asnières. It then traveled to Singapore and Los Angeles, before arriving on Madison Avenue in NYC’s former Barney’s location.

Prior to the founding of his world-renowned company, 16-year-old Louis Vuitton was a trunk maker at the Parisian atelier of Monsieur Maréchal in 1837. His success led him to open his own workshop 17 years later, and by 1859 he opened his first atelier in Asnières.

the massive exhibition explores never-before-seen installations, interactive experiences (one of the sections in the exhibition is live streamed on the exterior of the building), and most notably, 200 trunks from visionaries such as Franky Zapata, Willo Perron, Francesca Sorrenti, Peter Marino, and Brooklyn Balloons to name a few.

They were asked to “personalize a metaphorical blank canvas” similar to the dimensions of the original Louis Vuitton trunk from the 1850s. Each trunk stands “as an ongoing tribute to Louis Vuitton’s innovative legacy.”

Let's walk among the glorious tribute trunks, together!
