200 TRUNKS, 200 VISIONARIES is Louis Vuitton’s global exhibition that showcases the imaginative trunks created by 200 visionaries. It was conceived to celebrate Louis Vuitton’s bicentennial birthday and can be experienced in the landmark Barneys New York building at 660 Madison Avenue until December 31st. The exhibition is open daily 10 am – 8 pm.
The LOUIS 200 project invited talented individuals spanning arts, culture, the sciences, sports, global causes, and more to personalize a metaphorical blank canvas measuring approximately the same dimensions as the original trunk that Louis conceived in the 1850s.
At the end of the immersive circuit, visitors can discover The Workshop, a versatile space that will host cultural, educational, and artistic activities. Additionally, Louis Vuitton has opened FREDS x LOUIS in conjunction with the exhibition, reviving Barneys’ iconic restaurant Freds for a limited time.
