The Centre Pompidou is a centralized exhibition place for French 20th century culture and art. It is also known as the three major art museums in Paris along with the Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay. The entire building is like a construction site under construction, composed of steel pipes and glass pipes, which is entrenched among the elegant and beautiful ancient buildings in Paris. It looks particularly innovative and is known as the "refinery in the city center".
△ The first-floor lobby of the Centre Pompidou is equipped with cloakroom and left-luggage office, a cafe, a souvenir shop, a bookstore and a children's playroom. It also displays an architectural model of the entire the Centre Pompidou. There is a cinema, activity room and performance hall on the second floor, where exhibitions, concerts, drama performances, etc. are held from time to time. The third and fourth floors are open-shelf libraries with a large collection of books and easy borrowing. They are public libraries frequented by locals.

△ The outer walls are covered with colorful pipelines and steel trusses, which are distinguished by color: blue is the air conditioning exhaust system, yellow is the electrical system, and green pipes control water pipes. In the giant transparent cylindrical tubes, automatic elevators busily transport visitors to each floor.

nice place for ppl who loves art. if you are nearby and find yourself with some free time, can definitely check out and take photos in such artistic place
Centre Pompidou is located right at the central region of Paris. As a visitor, you might be very shocked by the odd and avant-garde gesture of this architecture, but it is indeed a very significant move in architectural design in Paris. As amazing as its design, I enjoyed the Norman Foster Exhibition during June 2023, had so much inspiration from this architecture and their exhibitions. Was definitely worth a visit. Tips: you might be able to purchase cheaper tickets by using student discount!
Although I don't know about modern art, the works of the exhibition surprised me, and I feel that there are many places to learn, which is worthwhile.
Really great! Those who like Mattis must go.. The color is bright and the whole environment is very quiet...
Pompidou is very beautiful, whether it is the appearance or the exhibits. There is an artistic cell that is satisfied. The viewing platform on the top floor of Pompidou overlooks Paris and has a great view. It is convenient and easy to buy a ticket on Trip.com, otherwise you have to book it on the official website.
