Situated at the heart of Paris in the Marais district, the Pompidou Centre reveals its unique, timeless and modern architecture, offering its visitors the most beautiful view over the capital. From the upper floors, you can see sweeping views over the City of Light and its most emblematic monuments such as Notre-Dame, the Eiffel Tower and the Sacré-Coeur. Behind its web of colourful pipes, the building contains numerous spaces entirely dedicated to culture and art spread out over 6 floors, among which the largest modern and contemporary art museum in Europe is housed. With more than 70,000 works, it displays the masterpieces of some of the most famous figures in modern art like Picasso, Kandinsky, Matisse, Chagall, Léger, Miro, Dali, Dubuffet and Klein. It also displays the work of the most famous contemporary artists such as Buren, Boltanski, Opalka, Twombly, Hantaï, Tallon, Widmer and Garouste. The Centre Pompidou welcomes around 25 temporary exhibitions which highlight the main actors and movements in the history of 20th century art as well as the biggest artists on the contemporary scene. A rich programme including cinema, theatre, dance, concerts, conferences, seminars, an area for young people, a public information library, shops and restaurants completes this abundance of art and makes the Centre Pompidou a unique place for a multitude of disciplines.
