Louis Vuitton has just unveiled an interactive and immersive experience called Louis Vuitton X, which takes the audience through a 160-year history of the iconic brand. The exhibit includes  the original “Capucines bags reinterpreted by six leading contemporary artists,” according to the brand.

The pop-up museum features two floors at the iconic 468 North Rodeo Drive building in Beverly Hills. There are over 180 items from “Louis Vuitton’s archives and scenography to trace the House’s pioneering journey,” according to the company.

Items on display include vintage art deco perfume bottles, fabulous window displays, and reworked bags by designers such as Karl Lagerfeld, Rei Kawakubo, Cindy Sherman and Frank Gehry. Original collaborations and commissions by artists include Yayoi Kusama, Richard Prince and Zaha Hadid.
