Since 2006, FIAC and the Louvre’s Hors les Murs programme, presents for exhibition, outdoor works in the Tuileries Garden: architectural projects, sculptures, performances and sound pieces are installed in the prestigious context of the Domaine National du Louvre et des Tuileries, close to the Grand Palais.

The implication which both artists and galleries manifest in this programme and the exceptional qualities of the site makes it possible to feature some twenty projects every year, which take up temporary residence on the alleys, lawns, ponds and fountains of the garden creating an impressive outdoor exhibition lasting one month. It enables FIAC galleries to exhibit monumental artworks that echo the patrimonial context and respond to the scale and the perspectives of the Garden.

An ever-growing audience shows a keen interest for the artworks on view: in the center of Paris and at the gates of the Louvre Museum, the garden provides an ideal context for their encounter with contemporary creation.

During FIAC week, cultural mediators from the Ecole du Louvre are on hand to present the artworks and to respond to questions from the public.
