The Yves Saint Laurent Paris Museum exhibits the work of the couturier in the historic place of his former fashion house, through a retrospective tour and thematic temporary exhibitions presented consecutively. The Yves Saint Laurent Paris Museum reflects both the creative genius of the couturier and the process of creating haute couture collections. Much more than just a monographic museum, it is also a testimony to the 20th century and the haute couture that accompanied a certain style of living that has now disappeared. When it first opened, the Yves Saint Laurent Paris Museum was the first museum of this magnitude dedicated to the work of one of the greatest couturiers of the 20th century.
