Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris is a fashion museum in Paris, dedicated to fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. The museum opened on 3 October 2017 at 5 Avenue Marceau in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, in the historic mansion that housed Saint Laurent's haute couture salon from 1974 to 2002.[1]

History

Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent established the museum to preserve and display the couturier's work. It opened weeks after the death of Pierre Bergé, Saint Laurent's longtime partner in life and business.[2] A sister museum, the Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Marrakesh, opened on 19 October 2017.[3]

The museum closed 5 May 2025 for renovation and expansion. It will reopen in autumn 2027.[4]

Collection

The collection includes more than 5,000 haute couture garments and 15,000 accessories from Saint Laurent's 40-year career, along with thousands of sketches, photographs, and archival materials.[5] The 450-square-metre (4,800 sq ft) exhibition space hosts rotating thematic exhibitions.[6]
