In a very Parisian neighborhood,
The Pompidou Center offers many cultural exhibitions all year round.
Its architecture is very particular.
I recommend going to the top to have a nice view of Paris.

Even at first glance, it is out of place with the gorgeous old city of Paris with a complete urban plan. However, in this building, exquisite modern art works are displayed, and it is not only the hardware and the content, but also the buskers on the square in front of it. , the vibrant store market in the Marais district makes this area's travel experience full of fun
The entrance should be directly on the fifth floor, first on the first floor, if you are a fan of modern art, Gauguin, Picasso, Martyce, Blak, Paul Klee, Zao Wou-Ki, Picasso, Miro, Kang Dinsky and Chacarlo are the treasures of the museum. Blue No. 2 is also here. The museum is bright and concise. Although the line of movement has always made me a bit unclear, it is definitely an unmissable sight.

I got a discount on Youth and had a free visit to the museum.
The exhibit seemed to cost around 10 euros each.

I'm standing in line, but I'll be right there.
It's amazing. I think I just had a good time.
It looks like there are a lot of facilities to be building.
(Restaurants, libraries, exhibition floors, etc.)
It would be nice if you can find out and try it out!

It's worth visiting once!
In fact, I would like to come one more time before the end of youth age

Best museum I ve ever visited as far as the diversity and curation of the art. Devote at least a half day to spend here for a full and well rounded experience. Sadly I had to rush through a portion of the museum because I wasn t aware that it was so vast. Also it s not extremely crowded because of the size of the museum so you can get lost and and really enjoy the art.

The architecture of the building is atypical, on the top floor you can enjoy a nice view of Paris! However, I was disappointed with the permanent exhibitions, plus the museum is really big ... and therefore I did not find the choice of exhibitions to be harmonious ...
It was to be done, but I won't be going back anytime soon!

It's one of my favorite places in Paris, but... The stairs to up doesn't work and the lady in the restaurant doesn't let me to take pictures...

Another thing, I couldn't by my ticket on internet in any option. I was in Amsterdam until yesterday and I could pay all my tickets with PayPal. But here, they don't have the option and when I introduced my credit card I couldn't understand the error, it was a message from the server in HTML.

This is incredible place for lovers of Modern Art. The building itself is example of modern architecture and I personally can spend quite a bit of time just looking at the building. When you get inside all the exhibits will definitely take your breath away. And don't forget to enjoy the views of Paris when you take escalator.

Maybe I was just unlucky. I found the current exhibits boring and the collection a bit lacking. The current exhibition "Vasarely" was no different than opening up your facebook page. I see those kind of gimmicky optical illusions whenever some friend rediscovers them. Besides that it was not exactly immersive or ground breaking, it didn't inspire me to think about anything I haven't already thought and the experience was just flat. I hoped I might find Mutations/Creations more interesting, but there was just so much reading and the works really can't stand on their own, you have to know the backstory to each one in order to get kind of satisfaction out of the visuals. It is a pity because the Museum came highly recommended. It was also very busy and uncomfortable. The view was great.

Beautifully confusing building with great artwork. If you have tickets, enter on the plaza side. If you need to purchase tickets, join the huge line that starts on the street side. If you're not already familiar with the Centre, Prime Minister, or building's history, I suggest reading up a bit about it in advance to have more of an appreciation for it. However, it's not necessary. It's still a great place.

My favorite museum in all of Paris, & my favorite modern art museum (although the MET may be tied)
It is a Modern Museum in an incredibly unique building.

I would suggest taking the escalators straight to the top floor, & taking in the sites - you can see all of Paris from here, even the hill of Montmartre. Quite beautiful.
This floor dedicated to revolving exhibits, which is always quite an interesting experience to take in.
There is a restaurant on the top floor, where if you eat there, you can go out on their terrace & enjoy the view (if you're not dining, you cannot go on their terrace).

Go one floor down & explore the incredible collection they have of modern artist from the past.
They allow you to take photos of the art on this floor, (no flash) so document your favorites!
There is also a great balcony to the right, when you first arrive on this floor, where you can go out & take some incredible photos without the glass in the way. The restaurant terrace previously mentioned would be directly above you, so prime spot for photos!

Then go down one floor below, & explore their collection of the current modern art of our time.

All in all, this is a wonderful museum that I would highly suggest any lover of more modern art to visit.

Modern and contemporary galleries are fantastic! Some of exhibits attract you to touch them but beware of that! It offers almost mystical experience of seeing brush strokes of Dali or Chagall from just few centimeters! You can rest in a cave and there is planty of smell-art. The selection is great from funny provocateurs to industrial designers. I only miss Futurists, but otherwise the Pompidou Centre is very good choice to visit.

Huge, full of paintings in large and pleasant rooms. So many beautiful works that you can criticize and certainly the quantity you will find something to your taste. Too bad the route to get in and out with escalators is very hot ... I did it in August, it should be air conditioned.
