La Maison Rouge, Contemporary art museum in 12th arrondissement, Paris, France.
La Maison Rouge is an art museum housed in a converted factory building with large white walls and visible industrial features. The space offers roughly 2000 square meters of exhibition area dedicated to rotating contemporary art displays.
Antoine de Galbert founded La Maison Rouge in 2004 as a private foundation for contemporary art in a former factory building. The museum closed in 2018 after more than a decade of hosting rotating exhibitions and cultural discussions.
The foundation presented three to six exhibitions annually, focusing on private collections and monographic shows that explored diverse forms of contemporary artistic expression.
The museum was located near Bastille and open Wednesday through Sunday, with extended hours on Thursdays before closure. Access was straightforward with good connections to the surrounding neighborhood.
The name came from the red farmhouse that housed the founder's offices and shaped the foundation's identity. This blend of historical architecture and contemporary focus reflected its entire mission.
