Giacometti Institute

A small but beautiful space to admire Giacometti’s work. Classes are also available in the main room (French-speaking only).

A recreation of his Studio, and a strong collection, and a library you can use. They hold small special exhibitions that center on his colleagues and friends. We really like his work, so we're very appreciative of the foundation efforts.

Second time's a charm. Got to explore the Institute and see some pieces from the artist extensive catalogue. The guided tour is worth booking to get some context on the current exhibition.

It's tucked away in a quiet street. I didn't have to wait to enter. You can download an app to find floor plans and audio guide. There's a small entrance fee.

One of the best museum experiences we’ve ever had. Go for the free docent led tour of Giacometti’s work on Sunday morning. Invaluable in understanding this incredible artist and his work. Lovely space has its own history and is located right across from the Montparnasse Cemetery so you can spend time there afterward.

What a gem! Definitely take the guided tour. Our guide was fantastic and brought Giacometti the man, the history of the story, and his art to life. You’ll learn so much in a short span of time and will gain a deeper understating of what the artist was trying to achieve. All housed in a wonderful historic building.

The Institute is the reference place for Giacometti's work, in a beautiful building in the art deco style.

Best time spent in Paris. The museum is real. Authentic. And the staff is the best.
