CENTRE GEORGES POMPIDOU Review

Not too much understood about the Boltanski Expo but the museum perfects many artists

The best contemporary art museum that doesn't need a horse!
In addition to the permanent art exhibitions, special exhibitions, restaurants, and libraries are all excellent and offer free outdoor observation decks!

Because the collection is huge, you need at least three to four hours
If you're running out of time and want to take a quick look, it's probably not bad to watch the name-oriented events such as Matisse, Picasso, Kandinsky, Pollock, Mondrian, Juan Miro and Braju!

It is said that the entrance line should be separated from the outside of the building, but if the line is long, it is said to go to the restaurant and it is written in the restaurant waiting line. I went to the gallery waiting line because there was a short line when I went

The building's exterior and interior are completely unobtrusive, so it's a good idea to search for an architect's piano!

We were slightly disappointed that the Paris museum pass only covered the permanent collection and not the current exhibits but you can still purchase as ticket there as we did at the kiosks. The views of the city here are amazing.

Lots of places available but never enough compared to demand, it's not always very quiet due to the students chatting instead of working or going to take a break in the cafeteria, the cafes are a bit expensive, a "balcony / terrace "is accessible for smokers or to simply get some fresh air. The staff is present to provide you with information, and the Vigipirate plan is still in progress with bag verification and passage through a detector.

Impressive pictorial richness of this Center, also add the wonderful views of the city of Paris and the impressive library

Lots of truly amazing art, too much in a way. Hard to absorb everything on one visit. Not too fond of the design of the building.

Spent hours at the museum. Best place in the city
There is a fee tho

Very disappointed, only a part was open, a construction site to be avoided given the already impressive one of Notre Dame. The structure is very degrated and dirty. I hope to be more fortunate the next time I go to Paris

Go here with your kids, they will love it! The first part of the permanent collection is sublime.

Superb discovery of the Pompidou center.
Very affordable 14.00 entry to visit the 3 floors.
There is a very good restaurant "Le Gorges" a la carte pour!

Interesting building and fascinating art. However...beware significant queing and long waits to enter

The Museum of Modern Art often has different exhibitions. It is highly recommended to look at the top restaurant on the left side of the escalator.

Exhibition Bacon: pity that the works are accompanied by no explanation! ...

Exquisite permanent collection of modern and contemporary art.
Security is very strict, but once you are in, the gallery staff are very friendly. There is a large bookstore on the first floor as well as a small cafeteria.

Pro tip:. The neighbourhood is filled with wonderful little shops, used clothing stores, small galleries, restaurants and pastry shops.
Plan to make a whole day of the area.

The Pompidou is a center of Art and Culture, designed by Gianfranco Franchini, Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers and Sue Rogers.
The different colors of the external piping of the Center Pompidou are differentiated according to their use: yellow lines for electricity, red for elevators and escalators, green for water, blue for air.
Inside the square is positioned one of the most extravagant fountains of Paris, also called "Fontaine des automates", which, realized in 1983 by Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle, is composed of 16 colored aluminum sculptures that move thanks to the water jets.

Always worth spending few hours for temporary exhibitions and permanent collection.

The collection of contemporary arts are magnificent. The featured art exhibition is excellent as well! As for the building of Centre Pompidou itself, it is not so good in my humble opinion, I am afraid. It feels more of city shopping mall, instead of an arts venue. With that said, Pompidou is still a great place to visit if you can spare a few hours.

Beautiful place to spend moments alone or in company. Beautiful activities are held there occasionally with impressive onlookers. I love this very cool place too much.

Both the experience of visiting the museum's surroundings and the institution itself is worth the trip. Just outside there are many people resting and enjoying live music. There are several street vendors, cute shops and establishments from the most diverse niches. Inside the museum, a vast collection, mainly of contemporary art.

Still controversial because it doesn't match the surroundings but that's what it makes it more special

Great place for children as well as adults. Lots to explore and learn from

Original, but it doesn't appeal to me. Something like a crooked house in Sopot. - I only assess the building from the outside, because I wasn't inside.

Very funny as a museum, too bad his works are taken so seriously

Only seen the facade which is undoubtedly controversial. Must be seen to have your say. Inside exhibitions are constantly updated.

It stays open later. Comfortable to visit. Besides the permanent exhibition, other interesting exhibitions. On leaving, it is surrounded by interesting bars and restaurants.

Spectacular museum inside the center as well as temporary exhibitions and cinemas. You have to pass, better with the museum pass

At first sight seduced by the architecture of the modern clothing period. The exhibited works are pleasant without transcendent beings. Somewhat disappointed even sometimes by some who for some might not be up to the place, its prestige and its history. Despite everything, the main gallery is just stunning. The spaces are ventilated allowing the works to fully express themselves. Museum to visit despite everything.

They have a self guided VIP (Very Important Pieces) tour of 20 of their most famous works of art which is wonderful. Excellent modern art collection. I used the illustrated VIP map as a scavenger hunt with my daughter to see if she could find the pieces!

Good view from the top, large selection of events and things to do and view inside

Not being from Paris I was pleasantly surprised by the number of books on guidance and books for school (annabac, prepabac, ..) in my city impossible to have access to this kind of reading.

Good collections. Nice views. Attractive modern building and plaza. Cafe overlooking the lobby is fine for a quick snack. All good but not overwhelming so.

Always exciting to see Paris from the top of Beaubourg

It is crazy, hundreds of people are waiting outside for more than an hour hopelessly, but nobody inside come out to explain whether they are going to open the door!

A superb place. I loved so much for that outdoor beauty. I knew him in works. To do again ..

Very good, very romantic, and especially well animated the place behind

Couldn't stop laughing at the ridiculous modern art

Ride the escalator up and enjoy gorgeous views of Paris. Amazing Art on every floor as you come down and it's an incredible building to boot. A must see, really.

If you are interested in modern paintings, it is a very good museum! It is recommended to those who think about the caustic rain because it is until 9:00 pm when the museum pass starts. Sang chapel / It seems to die. I think the modern museum is good, but the modern museum is really doing this kind of art, so I went around the hall. I have more sculptures and fixtures than paintings.

It is a polycultural establishment born from the desire of President Georges Pompidou, a great lover of modern art, to create in the heart of Paris an original cultural institution entirely devoted to modern and contemporary creation where the visual arts would be associated with books, drawing, music as well as cinema.

Beautiful place inside and out. We can go a whole day without seeing the time go by. Very nice view over Paris on the top floor.

Please make sure you like modern and contemporary art before you buy a ticket. If you think it is not your style, just purchase the panorama ticket only, which will give you amazing views from level 5, but does not include entry into the museum.
The customer service wasn't great, with the information desk pointing our family of 5 (2A, 3C) in the wrong direction, with little or no interest or kind greeting. We were then redirected by another member of staff to the correct entry, again with no interest or kind greeting.
The men's toilets were FILTHY. Not sure why, when there is a lovely clean museum they want us to be impressed with, but behind the scenes was disgusting.

Be sure to visit this museum, ticket is not expensive - 11 , and for students from Europe - free

Beautiful sunset view. The indications to buy tickets are very confusing. You re better off buying them online ahead of time, particularly at busy times. There were no indications that you could not buy special exhibit tickets at the regular counter and they directed us to the self check out where we had to wait again in line for a while. You also need to have your ticket already to use the coat check so you can t even save time by queuing at both at the same time. The public here is very bourgeois.

Even under construction, it's still great. Remember to book online before going, covid19 requires ...

My favorit place in Paris. Very nice collection of modern painting and sculpture. And add a beautifull view on Paris. You must go there!

A must if you re visiting Paris. Lots of curious exhibitions and forms of art that will surprise you. They also have some cinema rooms on the -1 floor as well as a cloak service.

Expo Bacon view last Sunday. Good organization, no crowds in theaters. Very impressive, and very rich ... comments from the guide. I recommend the passage in the ground floor of the shop with all possible gifts to do, beautiful and original ...

I didn't know what to do anymore, I love Picasso and Miro

A strange building that appears in a mixture of traditional buildings.
That is the Pompidou Center.

A place that mixes the Museum of Contemporary Art and the library.
But the contemporary art in the collection may be a little old.

The Pompidou has an amazing modern art collection displayed in an awesome building with great views of the city. I love the Matisse and Kandinsky paintings they have on display, and there is an especially beautiful room of Matisse cut-outs. I'm not usually a fan of contemporary art, but their collection is constantly changing and I have seen a lot of great works.

Also they have a lovely (albeit pricy) restaurant on the sixth floor which has great views of the city and very cool decor.

Great modern art museum with permanent and temporary exhibitions.

Museum with unusual access via external escalators to the 5th floor. Great view over the north of Paris. 2 floors of modern 20th century art, which is well feasible as a half day trip. In addition changing exhibitions. 1st Sunday of the month free entry from 11 o'clock.

It's a fantastic place with a great permanent collection. The views are great too. And I was quite bowled over by the Mutations exhibition.

Great Art Museum. Unfortunately, currently being renovated. Access therefore possible only from the front. Access in general is free, but with people control. Inside you can buy tickets for the respective exhibitions and galleries.

I went there for the view from the 5th floor and check the modern arts. it was the first Sunday of the month so it was for free but you have to pay to enter the exhibition areas.

Check out Travinski's fountain near by and take a picture of the huge DALI graffiti

Very nice temporary and permanent collection, styles quite varied. I think everyone will find paintings that will please him according to his taste but of course we are in a museum, so we touch with the eyes and not with the hands

It's very interesting and enjoying place in Paris.

There is plenty to see here, and while we were looking forward to going, but we did not find it as interesting as some of the other Paris museums like the D'orsay, Rodin or Picasso museums. The worse part of the visit for my partner was when my partner was pretending to point at one the paintings for an image I was taking to send to a friend about where is Wally (no idea what it was myself), and one of the patrons/guards shouted at her to stop touching the paintings, she tried to explain that she had not touched it, it only looked that way cause of the angle the photo was being taken.at. He never believed her and kept shouting don't touch the paintings, which upset her, unfortunately I found it funny, which never went down well. The 3 stars are based solely on what we thought of the museum.

Always beautiful permanent and temporary exhibitions! Rather new currents ... Beautiful exhibition spaces!
For tickets, obliged to ask to make a resa on the internet because more direct sales. It takes a bit of time but we were able to get back to Expo Bacon.
Do not forget to admire the building itself and the view it offers on the roofs of Paris and some great monuments! Too bad at the moment the esplanade is closed for work.

It's really a great museum where you can watch documentary, see expositions and arts and also you can study in the library or go to eat in the top of it.

This place is very hard to navigate due to the architecture of the building. While that sounds like a criticism, it s also in the nature of the of the period of post modern architecture.

Queuing system outside is a joke. 2 huge queues and only 2 security scanners and then once through the doors the no ticket queue merges with the fast track queue making a mockery of the whole system.

What we found appalling when we visited was just in front of us in the fast track queue (already purchased tickets) were a lady and her daughter. They, it turned out, were in the wrong queue. The guy at the entrance wouldn't allow them in. He made them leave and rejoin the back of the other queue. It took 45 minutes to move through to the security scanning despite being fast track. The other queue moved no faster or slower. And once through the doors the queue you had chosen made no difference. No advantage had been gained by this lady joining the wrong queue and it would inconvenience nobody for her to have been allowed in... Petty officialdom at its worst.

Long queue outside in the rain. Poorly organised with little information. As we had children with us we never even made it inside, very disappointing.

If you are into your art then you will more than likely enjoy the Pompidou. I've never really been into art and to be honest I found the actual building to be much more interesting than the exhibits inside. It's described as an inside out building and is pretty cool with a great view of Paris from the top. The good thing about the Pompidou is they have their own app you can download to your phone so no need to pay for an audio guide

Great art center. Very different art experience. Great views of the city from the balcony.
