On the 100th anniversary of the construction of the Galeries Lafayette's monumental Cupola in Paris, AMO created the exhibition 1912-2012: Chronicles of a Creative Itinerary.The exhibition unmasks Galeries Lafayette's one hundred years of creative engagement of culture and shopping under the iconic dome at the Boulevard Haussmann, created in 1912 by architect Ferdinand Chanut and master glass-maker Jacques Gruber.
The exhibition merges fixed and interactive elements with original archival material - including publications, photographs, newspapers, graphics, posters, objects, correspondence, window displays, models, films, and videos - to evoke the many facets of a creative journey lasting 100 years.
