This autumn, Galeries Lafayette, Paris's iconic department store, will celebrate the 100th anniversary of its famed Cupola, a symbol of the store's commitment to culture. OMA has been invited to study this centennial cultural journey. Conceived by AMO, 1912-2012: Chroniques d'un parcours créatif is an exhibition reflecting the store's unique formula of mixing culture with shopping under the iconic stained glass, built in 1912 by architect Ferdinand Chanut and the master glassmaker Jacques Gruber. |

Galeries Lafayette has been, over the years, a stage and an
observatory for the links between fashion, retail, economics, and
art, but also the socio-economic history of France. By immersing
themselves in the store's archives, and those of other cultural
institutions, AMO has built an exhibition illuminating
the store's unique evolution. La Galerie des Galeries Tuesday-Saturday, 11am-7pm |
