“Visionary Journeys” was conceptualized and brought to life by renowned fashion historian Florence Muller and architect Shohei Shigematsu. The exhibition is divided into twelve themed chapters, subtly evoking memories of Louis Vuitton’s first travel trunks made for aristocrats in 1854.

An impressive lobby space features eight towering trunks made from traditional washi paper, a distinctive element of Louis Vuitton. This design motif is a recurring highlight throughout the exhibition series. The space is constructed under a white dome, with floating cloud effects across the sky—symbolizing a free-spirited adventure that encapsulates Louis Vuitton’s geographical journeys and the deeply emotional memories attached to them.

The cultural dialogue between Louis Vuitton and Japan is expressed through curated spaces showcasing collaborative artworks with artists Takashi Murakami, Yayoi Kusama, Rei Kawakubo, and NIGO. Louis Vuitton affirms its innovative approach to the inheritance and evolution of its heritage in artisanal leather craftsmanship, while also paying heartfelt tribute through the bold individuality of NIGO’s journey, the vibrant pop art of Takashi Murakami, the surreal polka dots of Yayoi Kusama, and the unique fashion philosophy of Rei Kawakubo. This journey is not merely a display of classic and luxurious travel items—it is a voyage through time, connecting past, present, and future within the flow of contemporary Japanese culture.
