Treasures of Modern Art

Centre Pompidou, also known as the Centre national d’art et de culture Georges-Pompidou, is a top modern art museum in the world.

When the Centre Pompidou opened in 1977, this unconventional Postmodern Style Building created a frenzy of discussion in the field of art and architecture. With its exposed pipes, steel frames and glass escalators leading to the top floor, the Centre Pompidou is a rare work of art itself.

With a collection of works by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dalí and other masters, the Centre Pompidou has the largest collection of modern art in Europe. The Centre Pompidou also has a library and an observation deck that offers a panoramic view of the romantic city of Paris.

Influenced by the Centre Pompidou, the neighborhood also exudes a strong artistic atmosphere, Street Graffiti and Art Galleries abound.

The Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, and Centre Pompidou are the three major art museums in Paris: the Louvre houses historical treasures from 7500 BC to the mid-19th century from different regions of the world; the Musée d’Orsay’s collection is dominated by 19th-century paintings and sculptures, and the Centre Pompidou is a treasure trove of modern art. So don’t miss them if you are an art lover, because all three of them complement each other and are inseparable, too.
