Fondation Carmignac

Opened in 2018 after three years of renovation, the Fondation Carmignac on Porquerolles Island was designed by architect Corinne Vezzoni to blend art, architecture, and nature in perfect harmony. Built partly underground to preserve the island’s natural landscape, the museum is crowned by a glass roof covered with a thin layer of water — a striking feature that filters sunlight into fluid reflections, evoking the shimmering Mediterranean nearby. This architectural gesture embodies the Fondation’s spirit: a place of contemplation where art dialogues with light, sea, and sky.
