CENTRE GEORGES POMPIDOU Review

Great experience. You can see many Fauvism paintings, sculptures at floor 5 for permanent exhibitions. In a hidden corner at floor 4 there was a exhibition from a artist Cao Fei. The content is sensitive in China, the documentary seems absurd but so true. Well done.

Cultural center at the base for those who come to consult their works or exhibitions like me personally 40 years ago. But nowadays, the Pompidou Center has rather become a tourist trap which discourages us, we Parisians to set foot there again. Articles in the bookshop at exorbitant prices, snacks at excessive prices (although a very pleasant staff), gadgets certainly original in the shop but for which there is no desire to put your hand in the pocket. Too bad, mass tourism distorts these beautiful French sites.

Best contemporary art museum I ve ever visited. Gives MoMA a run for its money! You can t truly understand the grandeur of this place unless you are there yourself. Next time I am in Paris, I will be sure to visit Le Pompidou again. Also, if you re feeling peckish during your visit there, they have an AMAZING rooftop restaurant called Georges. The food is to die for, and so is the view. Do yourself a favor and visit this museum if you want to experience authentic Parisian culture without the swarms of tourists or the overpriced tourist traps.

A complete breath of fresh air on my first trip to Paris. The people are very helpful and the signage is classy and helpful. I grew to appreciate modern art more after my visit here. I will pursue more modern art museums as a I travel more because of the work I viewed and enjoyed here.

Mythical and essential Parisian exhibition place ... And of high quality of course

Very original unusual building in a busy quarter. On the square in front of the center is crowded, always something interesting happens. Near metro station. Across the road begins an interesting Marais quarter.

If you love contemporary arts this is your place. Great view of Paris on the top floor.

I love art me. Visiting exhibitions top quality with unique curation. Permanent collection enviable with broad cross section.

Very bad organised. Unmarked queues, double queues outside then inside, one loses lot of time because of the lack of marking... very disappointed that I had to lose so much time here...

I didn't even go in and this building was amazing. It is incredibly beautiful and stunning.

Interesting exhibits. I was apart of Marcel Duchamp

If you are In Paris, you have to pay a visit to this incredible museum. Alternative and trendy. Full immersion in creativity and fun to explore.
Check out the fountains outside with some art installations :)

A very nice museum to do especially now, it is not crowded. Nice discovery whether you like modern art or not, there is something for everyone.

A very good place to clear your mind, with exhibitions that change almost every month, a place to unwind.

M A R A V I L H O S O, a landmark in Architecture. L O U C O, it pays to go downtown simply to gauge that landmark of architecture, with all the apparent pipes and ducts, very different and a super young vibe.

This building is the home of a library and a couple of bookshops and the modern art museum. I was impressed by the collection of modern art. It had a lot of important works. But the building itself was cool. All that makes the building work is exterior to the structure. You can see how the elevators work, for example. Its pretty cool.

The Pompidou has both Modern and Contemporary Art. Special exhibits are on the lower floors. The research library is on the third floor and the collection, which may also be curated into particular shows is on the 4th and 5th floors. The escalators you see on the outside of the building take you to the higher floors and the sculpture terraces which are part of the collection, but also one of the best ways to see the city as a whole. Tickets are sold on the first floor to the left of the staircase. You can get tickets to all exhibits or just the ones you are interested in. The gift shop is dangerously good, from skateboard decks to high end accessories, children's toys and clothes to shopping bags, there is something for everyone you need a gift for when you go home! I can't recommend the experience more and don't miss the Niki de St Phalle fountain just south of the museum.

Worst layout for a public building ever, convoluted entry ways with expansive halls leading to galleries that you may or may not enjoy. Came to see and respect art, but instead was lost in a maze of lines and stairways.

Very nice visit in August of very beautiful exhibitions and deckchairs on the terrace to rest if you want to stay a good time

If you are looking for a museum that allows you to catch a glimpse of the entire evolution of contemporary art through the most important works of major artists, this is certainly the place for you. This is the place More

COOL,CONTEMPORARY, CRAZY and ultimately AMAZING!

Recently wandering past the extraordinary and famous international masterpieces representing the George Pompidou contemporary, modern and graphic design collections I lent an ear to some foreign critics discussing,- whilst also photographing and scribbling.

One was talking about works by Danish Sonja Ferlov Mancoba. Another was on the subject of Takesada Matsutani s spiritual and organic forms. They compared artistic brilliance and importance.

Each passed in front of out of the box and seriously off the wall designs that looked like 30 sheep piled on top of each, graffiti scribbles on a wall in Amsterdam, or a pile of plastic with some multi-coloured string attached and super well-stuck together with thick glue.

(Longing to see the chinese version in Shanghai.. Will there be designs in the shape of dragons made of soja bottles and flashing neon lighting? A little soft touch of music from traditional chinese instruments; sound remixed with Vanessa Paradis ever-magical french song Joe le taxi and his embouteillaGes ? )

Finally their gazes fell on some rocks reminding us of our prehistoric ancestors living quarters. Captain Caveman here we come.

They could have sunk into the actual painting and become one with it. After all is not the artist at one with his or her masterpiece?? I imagine the critic tries to get this feeling too.

Wunderbar!, Brava! Oh la la comme c est belle..! Fantastic!.. I would like that in my home , Colourful , Expressive Intuitive Literary Man that s crazy Bloody love it ! That s so weird . They must have smoked! I hate that I love this one.. It looks like my grandmother s hairstyle!

The other lot..the ado's, all looked like they had partied all night with wild hair and sneakers and they were also extremely busy.

Selfies in front of the WEIRD, the WONDERFUL and the WHACKY!

Five boys with one girl who looked seriously fed up. She was definitely straight out of the latest Grazia makeup blog for pouting pros with perfect lipstick and she had that famous boude boudy look that makes them all millions overnight.

Each took photographs with funny and totally crazy expressions, half of them upside-down. They all made faces that resembled something out of the film Gremlins or perhaps the original Tarzan after he has swung through the jungle several times.

Their wild hair from the night before and their Amazon Rainforest animal looks in jaguar, panther and zoo-based shirts were obviously perfect to woo the hopeful girlfriend to be in the bar somewhere in Paris. Maybe they were part of a seriously trendy youtube video?

The critics group looked quite tired from all their photos, notepads and hard days reflection. They were surely, slowly and definitely on the way up to the bar on the top floor.



Paris..The city of love. The city of life. The city of light.

Bicycles, bars and bonjours.

Wonderful, strange, colourful, without inhibition, exhibiting movement, Brancusi influenced.. Bizarre, pure, meaningful,, dynamic...

Whatever you may think about these famous works they all evoke a reaction.

Whatever material they are made from .

Whatever inspiration they are created from .

Whoever made them ..

Whichever culture defines them...

These curious, magical and certainly inspirational works all impress each of us and create a thought process. A thought. An opinion. Of course a feeling.

This is Art.

The Pompidou centre is one of the most incredible places in France.

(love Benita)

It was very very cold ... But the museum is incredibly rich. The time to do only 2 galleries in one afternoon.

Center Georges Pompidou is the center of the Museum in Paris that presents a variety of architecture and aukuistik and books as a library. A visit there will be more interesting if then continued around Paris

Among "VIP" buildings inside the circle of Paris "old City"

I've been told about this mall before! Oh also I just forgot that I recognized that mall!

a huge and diversified place, but to get in you should make a crazy line, especially to the library

The Best Art Museum in the world
Book your ticket on line, go early, take the escalators to start from the upper floor. don't miss the view from the top. as you go by, you'll take hundreds of photos for so beautiful contemporary arts. the store

Permanent exhibition and temporary to see, especially that on prehistory in 2019

Super funky and original shopping center located in a charming part of the city full of shops and cafes. Refreshingly different from classical Paris.

Awesome museum with great collection of modern art. Very big book shop.

The place is a good construction for modern art. From outside it looks like a human maze with it's huge pipelines sort of things everywhere (they even come out of the ground). Inside, it was warm/cold depending on the area you're in, some parts are exposed to the outside so before leaving your coat downstairs think about that. The art exhibited in the museum varies from simple monocolored works to very complex paintings and sculptures. Several great works are exhibited and some of the great artists names as well. I loved the place and I believe anyone visiting Paris should consider having a look there.

One of the greatest Paris museums dedicated to modern contemporary art. It's more than a museum with a mediatheque, a library and more. A must be seen.

Good place if you re into museums. Many tourist shops nearby.

The building wasn't well maintained and part of the museum was closed, so it wasn't a good first impression, although It does have some good modern art.

Fantastic Parisian cultural center, I'd spend hours there. A lot of services inside and in the air you hear the culture of Paris. To visit or live there

One of the "must to visit" places in Paris. Fabulous

Paris classic. Love it or hate it, you can't argue the architectural significance of this post modern high tech masterpiece. Richard Rodgers and Renzo Piano combo is the dream team of the late 70s. But wait, there is more... The permanent More

Obviously unavoidable ... tiring if you want to see everything ("08h in my case). The expos are remarkable. The modern gallery, imposing. The history is very interesting and informative. The contemporary art gallery can be puzzling in the choice of works. Very uneven.
I would have put 5 * if the prices of the cafeteria were exorbitant and then the timeline and per artist is outdated and tiresome.

It very depends on the exhibitions, but most of the time it's a brand new vision on the art. Also, on the rooftop you can see Paris as a low-bird flight :)

Building structure is unique.. provides a good view from top level

Excellent museum for those who love modern art .... beautiful even the outside designed by the great Renzo Piano with the large tubes colored green blue red depending on their use ... water air etc .... the surroundings are also beautiful

Modern art gallery. You might need more than four hours to check them all in a hurry. Too much walking. Few works are really great. Picaso etc.

My favorite modern art museum in Paris. The area around is also nice.

The Pompidou centre is a must see in Paris, the building itself should be on the checklist of people interested in modern structures. It is the first 'inside-out' building in architectural history.
I could not help but check out the space dedicated to Brancusi. If you are familiar with his work and life, you will most definitely like it. Plus the area around is hip and has lots of bars and restaurants and vibrates with life.

You can not go to Paris and do not enter this museum! Breathtaking view from the inside!

Disappointing Dora Maar. Great exhibition for very unequal works. It goes in all directions. Beautiful works without his surrealist period.

One of the best modern art museums in the world. Large collection. Love it.

One of the most futuristic structures I've seen for a museum....great exhibitions

Definitely one of places in Paris to see. Has french "MOMA" museum inside, library, bookstore, also very nice soivenier shop with things from Vitra brand among other. Prices 14 , younger than 18 yrs entrance free. Ticket includes everything plus views of paris. You can buy also views of Paris only. -1 stage has free entrance, also definitely worth to see.

My favorite museum in Paris. A good combination of modern art, contemporary art and even other artistic genres, such as design, architecture and cinema. And the presentations are always relevant!

From the stunningly peculiar exterior to the energy and trendy appearance found within, Centre Pompidou now holds the top spot in my list of favorite art museums. I was only able to visit the Modern Art museum floor due to my 2-hour limit before the closure of the centre; however, I was able to view and learn about content I had been excited to see. There is an ample collection of Kandinsky's - which I loved! The staff I encountered could have been a little friendlier, but I understand all people have long days. The boutique and librarie had quality items available for purchase, although some were a little costly. If I find myself in Paris again, I will be sure to make it back to view the Cubism and Contemporary art floors. The energy here was just too good.

Were in galleries on two floors - modern and contemporary art. Met beloved Larionov and Goncharova, Matisse, Malevich, Kandinsky. Many watched with pleasure, many smiled. In any case, this is art and it has a place to be. There are many halls, exhibits and paintings are arranged and hung correctly, we liked it.

Must visit.. been there many times love it more and more

Mah! What to say? Apart from the works of the usual known, even among the best, excluding some excellent exception, a wonderful collection of "art" (in quotes and with a small a). Do they want to convince me that this is art? Well, they will not succeed. Most of the "works" on display is a crazy crap of fantozziana memory. These are agreements between pseudo-critics and self-styled artist to be able to sell rubbish. One more star for the structure, that's worth it. If you want modern art, go to the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome. Or, do not visit it before seeing the Pompidou, do it later. I add photos of the best I've seen.

A must in Paris together with the Louvre and Orasy. Very particular external architecture inside also beautiful exhibitions.

An excellent museum! I'd definitely recommend this museum to anyone who's looking for interesting and bizzare installations and art. I was pleasantly surprised by the collection they had.
You should spend a minimum of 2 hours here to make the most of it.

It's incredible.
When I arrived, many people come to visit.

One of the most important collection of contemporary and modern art in the world.The building itself made the story of architecture, the provocative high tech design by Piano, Rogers supported by Arup engineers was seen as alien within the context of the surroundings. However it became soon iconic and help to vitalise the area with its front open square. Features of the buildings include the super high elevator stairs, the exposed services, the trusses supporting the floor (called "gerberettes", bespoke cast steel elements) which allow thanks to tensioned ends to span a long way with reduced depth and no internal intermediate columns. Inside a permanent collection (which rotates every six months) and at least a couple of temporary ones. Tickets allow you to see all the exhibition and also get out (check the restaurants around) and come back in.

Modern and contemporary art at its finest. The museum layout seems to go from classic art to slightly more modern, and then very contemporary and abstract. It really shows the range of how art is portrayed. There are paintings, objects, sculptures, and plenty more of pieces of art. I would definitely recommend half a day to a day to explore all of the exhibitions here to fully absorb it all.

The Pompidou center is a place of culture that welcomes all kinds of talents.
A little disappointed with the current Cristo exhibition. Indeed, the exhibition is concentrated in Paris.
Too bad ... the packaging of the various objects other than monuments were in my opinion less interesting.
I still recommend going to Beaubourg!

Periodically, there are interesting exhibitions. To wander the stairs and see the building, you still need to pay the entrance fee.
The fountain is very cool.

Very interesting cultural center with great exhibitions !
