The world's first museum dedicated to Alberto Giacometti, opening in the second half of 2028 in Paris's 7th arrondissement. Housed in the former Gare des Invalides along the Seine, the 6,000-square-meter institution will present the largest collection of Giacometti's work — over 10,000 items including thousands of drawings, 400+ sculptures, 100 paintings, and decorative objects. Run by the Fondation Alberto et Annette Giacometti, the museum will feature permanent installations alongside rotating exhibitions of modern and contemporary artists, a reconstruction of Giacometti's legendary Montparnasse atelier where he lived and worked from 1926 until his death in 1966, plus an education wing offering non-degree art classes — a hybrid museum-school model unprecedented for a single-artist institution.
Operates in both primary and secondary markets
While the museum collection is not for sale, the Giacometti market is one of the most liquid in modern art. Sculptures regularly appear at Christie's, Sotheby's, and Phillips — bronzes from the Walking Man and Women of Venice series command $10M-$100M+. Smaller works on paper and lithographs offer entry points from $5,000-$50,000. The museum's opening in 2028 will likely catalyze renewed market interest. Gagosian and Hauser & Wirth occasionally handle secondary-market Giacometti works.
The Fondation Giacometti has operated since 2003, maintaining the artist's estate and organizing exhibitions worldwide. The permanent museum represents a decades-long institutional ambition. With 10,000 works and the reconstructed atelier, this will be the definitive resource for Giacometti scholarship and the most significant single-artist museum to open in Paris since the Musée Picasso expansion.
