Louis Vuitton has officially unveiled 'Visionary Journeys,' an expansive exhibition running from July 15 to September 17, 2025, at the Nakanoshima Museum of Art in Osaka. The showcase explores the Maison’s 170-year legacy through a uniquely immersive lens -- tracing its deep connection with Japan and its evolution from trunk-maker to global fashion powerhouse.
Curated by fashion historian Florence Müller and designed by Shohei Shigematsu of OMA, the exhibition spans twelve thematic chapters, featuring over 1,000 objects, including rare archival trunks, iconic collaborations, and newly commissioned pieces. Highlights include two monumental 'Trunkscapes,' a hot-air balloon installation, and a dedicated space for Louis Vuitton’s collaborations with artists like Yayoi Kusama and NIGO®.
