CENTRE GEORGES POMPIDOU Review

Extensive museum with varied exhibitions of all eras. Never wait long and kind staff.

A somewhat peculiar museum due to its so creepy facade. It opens its doors very late and they are almost always under construction. Despite all that, it is a very beautiful museum that deserves to be visited at least once even if you do not enter.

Fantastic works and exhibits housed in an iconic building.

Nice cubist temporary exhibitions. Arrived around 11am a Saturday we did 30 minutes of queue to enter. The queue doubled the time we do the exhibition

Pop party no explanation at the entrance too crowded

Truly amazing space, definitely something to visit to view the latest in art as well as its conception. Expect to see big names in the art world. As an artist myself, its the perfect place to come to be inspired. Remember to leave your bags and coats in the coatroom before your tour.

Do look for a tiny boulangerie outside. The museum opens only at 11am so a great baguette helps while waiting.

Helpful staff. I have always managed to find what I was looking for in this library, especially since at the moment the compulsory reservation means that I no longer have to wait for two hours to enter.

My favorite repeat museum bc I prefer contemporary art. Beautiful restaurant too and occasional street art outside

The building itself is worth visiting! Loved the paintings and the experimental modern arts.

Great taking the kids there so much fun and so many things to do

Amazing museum. Less crowded than the Louvre or Musee D'Orsay, especially at opening

Great collection of modern art from the turn of the Century to the present day, buy tickets online to avoid queues, the entrance lanes are rediculously long and unnecessary when there are no queues as you end up walking 1/2 way round the building for no apparent reason - apart from that a good afternoon to catch up with modern art

If modern art is your thing, you'll love this place. Notre Dame isn't far so you can take an hour and visit that as well.

Okay, some of the exhibited things were very and very strange and I think they were called art.

Majestic, elegant in a noisy human environment. Interesting exhibitions, an exciting library with an impressive wealth. The escalator that allows you to see Paris by extracting noise is a dream all by itself. Architecture, despite the weight of the habit, remains very inventive.

Awesome museum where there are really good exhibitions ! The building is awesome

George Pompidou center is just an amazing high-tech architecture integrated in the middle of a heritage are, imagined by the great architects Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers. It's a lovely place to visit for architecture and patrimony lover, you can buy the ticket once there, and maybe you can get a discount. There is different kind of exposition, temporary and permanent, I really suggest this establishment.

One of the best modern art museums I have ever been too.

It has some noteworthy stuff but it looks like what happens when millenials try to impress.... half of the mechanical stairways weren t working. Also, the first three floors were closed, not to mention that it is a black eye on a beautiful city, I mean really who was the genius who put an oversized warehouse in the middle of Paris? The collection is not great by any standards.... I m glad I went on the first Sunday of the month and it was free if you don t have the time just skip this altogether.....

One of my favorite museums. The planning is well thought of and the collection is rich and very interesting.

Take a security inspection in front of you, take the escalator on the left, and then use the escalator outside to climb up (4th floor) to enter.

There were many works that were difficult for adults to understand, but this museum, which is filled with contemporary art, is worth more than a glance, an unpleasant glance, or a glimpse to know the depth and breadth of art.
I think it was a great stimulus for my first-year middle school child.

Yayoi Kusama's work was also exhibited.

I will visit again if I have the opportunity.

One of the best libraries in Paris and many more to see! Exhibitions, souvenirs, book shop etc.

Museum with anything one can imagine
...
but art

Magical place full of surprises, cinema, exhibition, etc.

It is well divided by four generations, so it would be fun to watch while studying contemporary art history. The installation artist exhibition, which was currently a special exhibition on 2020.7, was okay. The view is also good. Due to corona, you must make a reservation in advance!

We have visited the permanent exhibition (free on first Sunday/month but very long queue) and enjoyed the pieces of art very much. The building is not very beautiful but very notable and the architectural concept makes sense. From the top of the building you have a great view over the roofs of Paris.

Too much empty space. There is to walk. Unclear indications. The view is nice, but do not go there for that.

Modern art and a magnificent direction. The spectacular views of Paris.

It is a place where I felt very relaxed, it is full of young people and various people give shows to show their talents; it is a lively place

Very modern building with luggage storage area and tidal escalator

In my opinion one of the most beautiful places in Paris

Pompidou's special architectural appearance is unique in Paris with a strong European flavor. Its modern architecture is undoubtedly matched with the works of many modern artists in the museum! The works exhibited in the museum are also very rich, even if it is very fast to browse, it takes more than an hour to finish watching!

This is a world renowned museum. I saw the Cao Fei exhibition twice. Her movie Nova was sad and beautiful. Adult tickets are 14 euros and that price gets you access to all the ex exhibitions. The book shop is the best for anyone interested in art. Enjoy

Amazing museum, full to the brim with modern and and interesting exhibitions. Worth a visit just to see the building alone.

I do not mean modern art, but I find that this construction is an enclave not exactly exciting in a context of breathtaking imperial beauties. The exhibits of modern "art" contained in it, then, ....... I regret the cost of the ticket.

I used the Museum of Modern Art. It was full of highlights and it was fun. The area around the building was under construction, and he stepped off the step and fell and was injured.

Awesome spot and building and lot of very interesting art painted on every wall! Enjoy. it is a journey through history.

Museum of modern and contemporary art in Paris, it contains several famous artists (Matisse, Picasso) but the part of contemporary art is very, say, peculiar .... Only worth it if you really like this kind of art.

The years of work on the tubes and scaffolding permanently visible (no effort is made to make the building more pleasant) in the heart of Paris, a shame!

We took in the view of the sun setting over Paris at George's. We enjoyed the outside grounds during daylight and wish we had more time to actually go inside and see the exhibits. Next time I'll visit the Louvre and Pompidou in the same day to appreciate the juxtaposition of the traditional vs. modern natures of those two museums.

Did not get a chance to actually go in, yet there were many good artists outside of it performing, painting, and acting. The building itself was very nice to see.

Confusing array of options but seemingly only one way in!

If you already did a lot of ancient art and culture museums in Paris then it's good to stop by centre Pompidou. A lot of modern art is displayed here. Although a lot of people won't like it, it certainly gives you a new view on art.

Nice place to see a movie or a exposition. The construction it s different and you can see all paros from the 5th floor.

How anyone can vote this other than 5* escapes me. Normally I'd say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but if someone doesn't like this venue.. they are just incorrect.

You have to visit this wonderful gallery
End of.

For those who are not interested in art but want to see something
It is a recommended art museum.

Even though it is a very old building, it is an art museum that attracts people's attention with its unique design without awkward appearance.
The exterior is a must see daytime as well as night view.

I haven't seen it, but the view of Paris at sunset is pretty.
If the time is right, go to the end of the elevator and I think the view of Paris will be good

The exhibits have a lot of modern art, so
I think it is an art museum where people who are not interested in art can have fun.
(I recommend Tate Modern in the UK)

And not all floors are exhibit floors, bookstores, free library cafes, etc.
It s nice to have a place to rest.
It's also good to be around and go to rest.

The street in Mare district near Pompidou has pretty streets and good restaurants.
It's also a good choice to see the surroundings.

Modern art is evidently not my thing. The museum is nicely laid out with lots of room to view the art in a relaxed atmosphere.

One of the best museums of modern art in the world. Both the permanent collection and the temporary exhibitions are of the highest quality. Boltanski is chilling. Photography always has a special place. Art shops, books and objects with design, cafeteria for a break. Book between 2-3 hours to get to know it, there are several galleries on different floors.

It was nice to go there on a rainy afternoon.
Nice view of Paris from the 4th floor

Under renovation, the water fountains aren't working and it feels messy. Hopefully they will get this place up to par really quickly.

A truly incredible museum, a wide variety of works and artists!
I wholeheartedly recommend it to you.

I love the Klein s blue! Besides,The shape of the architecture is wonderful and surreal

I did not get a chance to fully explore the inside . The outside look promising .

There is a wonderful library inside Pompidou. Which will be on 2nd and 3rd floor respectively. All the literature and books are only in french but good part is you can connect to the internet so if u just want to a place to sit and study, then this will be a perfect place. Highly recommended.

Not taking waiting lines into account (even though they confirm the success of the museum), I generally loved this place. Perfectly fit for contemporary art lovers and lovers of the good view on Paris :p Amazing free library as well!

Superb, and congratulations for the temporary exhibition on Tadao Ando.

A wonderful place everything is there to cultivate, bravo

Outstanding. Was very lucky to have dora maar extra exhibit at time of our visit. Better than quai d orsay, enjoyed more than the crowded louvre. Also unpublished great view of city from tpp floor mezzanine. If you want to splurge awesome restaurant (not the snack bar) upstairs. Saw so many paintings, so many artists i had only seen glimpses of in traveling shows. So many missing pieces i had never seen. Would go back. Plan half day at minimum.
