Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris is a fashion museum in Paris, dedicated to fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. The museum opened on 3 October 2017 at 5 Avenue Marceau in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, in the historic mansion that housed Saint Laurent's haute couture salon from 1974 to 2002.[1]

The museum closed 5 May 2025 for renovation and expansion. It will reopen in autumn 2027.[4]
