Galeries Lafayette have made their missions to make art and creation accessible, to act as mediators between the artists and the public at large.
First conceived as the cultural space of the Haussmann department store in 2001, Galerie des Galeries now gathers the whole of the artistic actions: from the invitations or commissioning made to contemporary artists to the implementation of heritage and patronage approaches which are thought to be both enduring and in adequacy with their surrounding urban fabric.
Galerie des Galeries, which reflects the cultural politics of the department store, leans on values such as accessibility, participation, democratization and even innovation, which shed light on the current dynamics that enliven the group: living a unique experience at the heart of Galeries Lafayette.
In 2018, a Corporate foundation of general interest is born: it is Lafayette Anticipations.
