CENTRE GEORGES POMPIDOU Reviews

A youth hangout place as planned by the government. They sit right on the paving stones in front of the building. Free inferior wi fi. On the side of the Pompidou are dancing groups of young people, a fountain stylized as modern art, restaurants, a well-painted building.
Even if you don't go to the building (museum) itself, it's worth a visit to this area.

Good place to see some modern art. One of the only museum of its kind in Paris

A building which polarizes Parisiens but I like it. The modern art exhibitions on the upper floors are hit and miss though, but the performers and buskers in the surrounding areas are worth looking at.

If you appreciate the modern and contemporary art you have to visit it.
I admit to not be an expert on the subject but all in all some works are interressanti

Modern art is available. Modern and stylish. Let's go around comfortably without stretching your shoulders. Since there are many events, it is good to check in advance.

One of the best places for modern art! Very easy to stroll around.
The Chagall, Lissitzky, Malevitch exhibition is wonderful and very interesting.
The museum app and mobile website are horrible.

Really fantastic collection of modern art, great exhibitions.

One of the very best museum in the world especially for modern art.

[Pro tip] Go to back of it there is an entrance to the library enter from there to avoid any queue.

Worth few days to check it all
Great collection of works

Temple of contemporary art! Amazing Boltanski Expo (February 2020)!

CP at times is better and some other times is not, but i feel there is magnetic beauty of the place and what it represents and visiting Paris and not going to CP is a lost opportunity.

Must we still present the Center Pompidou, this high place of culture and modern art?! Its exterior appearance is still disturbing, with the moving sense of the term. There is plenty of popular entertainment on its esplanades. And his exhibitions are exciting and carefully put in space. Do not forget the exceptional view of Paris, from the top of its terrace and through its stairs under glass. You have to go, it is a must, and I would say even more, we must go back!

It's unique. A work of art that contains treasures of modern art

One of the best modern art museums. Worth spending a day.

Contemporary art contemporary art is free.
Special Exhibition Galleries are charged.
The top floor restaurant is worth a visit.
The price is a bit high, but you can see Montmartre and the Eiffel Tower.

To be fair, just walking past it, didn't go in. They've certainly nailed the 'building site' look, especially with all the building work around it..

One of the best museums in the world. Amazing views over Paris.

An original museum for its structure whose floors only 2 out of 5 are used as exhibition halls. Personally the artists who exhibit (modern art) have not involved me but the works are displayed flawlessly ... large spaces, many colors and valid experiences.

Nice exhibition of paintings by Francis Bacon. Interesting film at the end of the exhibition with an interview with the artist.

'Cultural Centre' what more can you say! People flock there when the sun is out just to sunbath and to listen to the street entertainment on the piazza outside, and also when the sun isn't out. It actually reminds me of Covent Garden, in London, twenty years ago. There are loads of good hip and cheap bars and restaurants on its doorstep, and lots of cool people!
Inside is everything you'd expect of an iconic cultural hub: great exhibitions and great views of Paris.

Place to go to see some crazy contemporary art and also great artists like Mondrian and Picasso!

This review is about the experience of a disabled person. We came here to eat at about 8 in the afternoon. We were in a side entrance which they refused to open because it opens at 9 as they said, so we had walk about 300 meters in a badly paved road. This was terribly difficult for my father who uses a cane to walk. When we finally reached the restaurant we asked for a wheelchair and they looked for one for about an hour. Finally they told us that they don't have one. I am not gonna comment on the food, which was mediocre at best, cause it's beside my point. We had really terrible experience and if you are a person with disabilities I strongly recommend that you avoid this place.

Center of Modern Art. Unfortunately, in constant renovation. I don't know if it's because of this, but it's just chaotic. More wandering than watching the harvest. I also didn't get to the key that guided the authors of individual exhibitions. That's what you have.

Very nice, free to enter the hall free clean bathrooms and wifi for tourists

I like the museum, art collection and exhibitions are always amazing. Architecture is a unique in it's style, designe by Great italian genius Renzo piano.

See and enjoy

Some details for you

The Centre Pompidou, also known as the Pompidou Centre in English, is a complex building in the Beaubourg area of the 4th arrondissement of Paris, near Les Halles, rue Montorgueil, and the Marais

My favorite contemporary and modern art museum in the world. The entrance to the museum is always packed with students and tourists soaking up the sun on a pleasant summer afternoon. For the museum, a number of well curated and fascinating shows round out their impressive main collection. The installations are among my favorite Remember to take the escalator up for the best view of Paris IMO, and spend some time on the patios/sculpture gardens on the upper floors.

Very beautiful place and museum, there are many expositions going on and I would recommend look online for a programme. The view from the top is amazing and there is also a restaurant. It takes some time to be visited but it's all worth it. Queues were not that long when I went, it was some day at the beginning of January at around 4.pm

I have been going there since my childhood whether to see exhibitions, collections or the center of foreign languages.
A place not to be missed

Superb collections BUT the reception is nonchalant and the arrows are rough.
We do not immediately understand where to go. In addition, the "tubes" borrowed to ride at the beginning of the visit .... and yes, it was necessary to go up ...... are dirty and dirty. Too bad to spoil the view of Paris.
Maybe we could pay a tourist ticket to a "novice" observer and follow him?

Very cool looking museum with a very cool exhibition of David Hockey. The staff is friendly and speaks english and it isn't all too crowded. The pricing is pretty reasonable. Note that you aren't allowed to take pictures at the David Hockey exhibition.

Perhaps, The most beautiful museum I have ever visited in my life, alongside with the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. This is truly a timeless masterpiece of architecture with a life that speaks a lot about the french people's love for art as part of their culture.

The permanent collection is still amazing. Beautiful view from the top floor.

Astonishing architecture. Especially for the time it was built. Loved the art although I did not understand everything.

The art pieces are very fascinating. I love the cinema too, because I took a nap there

One of the largest museums of modern art in the country. It has one of the nicest panaramic views of the city on the 5th floor. Don't let the industrial look of the exterior facade scare you away seeing the art inside

Do not miss it. It is one of the great museum in Paris.

The most amount of modern art I ve ever seen. Including the twisted sisters now standing in Mississauga Ontario, Mad Architects

Most favorite gallery in Paris still. Always worth the temporary exhibitions as well!

Plenty of activities with kids, adults have fun too. Convenient to move with pram, there are lifts.

Damage site probably interesting but pay 5 to just go up, escalator down is not much to see is the scam

Iconic building, either love it or hate it. Always worth riding the escalator tubes up and down the front of the building if nothing else. Very small kids gallery space and there s a new water feature from a sponsor that is mainly a waste of space since as soon as you touch the water a stressed out lady appears going Non!

Very little info available. Especially for modern and contemporary sections. Looks like a lot of kids projects without the explanations.

Wide collections but missing a lot of explanations to understand what's going on in these abstract pieces of art. Nice views on the top.

On the top floor magnificent view of Paris. the contemporary exterior is much more beautiful to see than the museum inside. Art for me is an emotion and I admit that I was not moved at all ...

Wonderful art collection I only wish there were more! Great view of the city if you're willing to go outside. Sometimes a long security line and sometimes not. Good public bathrooms and library.

Loved this bizarre building and extensive art. Annoyingly the small rucksack that everywhere else has been allowed in had to be left in the cloakroom and we were told no water bottles inside. An absence of refill stations isnt acceptable these days either.
However, the art work is superb and the public spaces capacious with charging sockets meaning the bored teen could entertain himself whilst I finished pottering. Views splendid too. Definitely a must visit.

Has a great permanent exhibition of modern art and many changing exhibitions. Has a huge art book collection library. Rooftop restaurant Georges has great panoramic view over Paris but is costly.

We do not name the famous George Pompidou center anymore! The exhibits are superb and varied. Several galleries for the pleasure of everyone!

It's all about white men. The design of the building is inspiring. But the curators haven't curated very well.

Bacon exhibition a little disappointing. The rooms with the artist's books. Reading ... and ....

Nice building, unfortunately quite dirty on the outside but it is worth seeing!

Few works to admire compared to the exhibition area. I have the price of the ticket across the gorge. Lack of information, not interactive enough !!!
Just take pictures of the outside and say "I was there" ... or didn't go there ..

Always a great gallery to visit. Only for those who love modern art.

A wonderful learning experience of both the development of French contemporary art post-Impressionism, and the achievements of French culture. The building itself is astonishing.

Fantastic collection, thoughtful and thorough exhibitions - plus the architecture is A+!

Too bad both in restoration and the entrance on the back.

Building is cool, difficult to relate to much of the art.

Love this place! So much to see, and it's all laid out in a way that makes both chronological sense, and thematic as well. Modern art (writ large) can often be like "Well, what does it mean?" But, the museum curators have done a very good job of adding historical context to various periods of artistic expression.
