Exhibition “GOLD by Yves Saint Laurent” 

Guide tour in English (duration 1:15h)

Since 2017, the museum dedicated to the great couturier of the 20th century has been located in the historic mansion where the works of Yves Saint Laurent were born. Decorator Jacques Grange designed the exhibition spaces. The museum positions itself as a witness to the History of the 20th century and a certain art of living.

The exhibition presents gold through some forty haute couture and ready-to-wear dresses, selected accessories and objects, as well as display cases filled with jewelery, essential to the Yves Saint Laurent silhouette.

Whether reflected in sun-filled memories of Oran and Marrakech, or on display with objects collected by Pierre Bergé and Yves Saint Laurent or accessories designed by Loulou de La Falaise, gold has always inspired the couturier’s oeuvre.

Yves Saint Laurent’s radiant character illuminates this chrono-thematic journey through a dazzling diversity of ornaments, sumptuous fabrics and exquisite materials.

To complement the creations of Yves Saint Laurent, the museum has invited the Belgian sculptor Johan Creten to exhibit five works that remind us of the extent to which gold has always inspired artists.
