Underneath a frozen night sky charged with blue and pink Northern Lights, a tiny theater reveals winter animals in their snowy habitat. Like an opened music box, the creatures spring to life, mechanically animated by golden, 19th-century gears and belts. Puffins and Ermines play hide and seek in the snow, popping in and out of sight while balancing gifts; in the next window, a baby polar bear frolics through mounds of snow, softly, almost as if in slow motion.

The scheme is playful, elegant and references the great department stores ("Les Grands Magasins") of Zola's Paris - a warm reminder of timeless childhood happiness. Stop by your Louis Vuitton store this holiday season to see these wonderful animatronic installations, and get inspired to give.

From October 22, 2016 to February 20, 2017, the Fondation Louis Vuitton features an exhibition that pays tribute to one of the greatest art patrons of the early 20th century, Sergei Shchukin, the visionary Russian collector of French modern art.

From the end of the 19th century, Sergei Shchukin, the leading Moscow industrialist, began to integrate himself into the Parisian arts milieu of the era, which tasked itself with defending the impressionist, post-impressionist and modern movements. Shchukin forged relationships with modern art dealers Paul Durand-Ruel, Berthe Weill, Ambroise Vollard, Georges Bernheim and Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, and celebrated artists Monet and Matisse. These friendships heavily influenced the formation of his collection, which remains one of the most radical art collections of its time.
