Architecturally fascinating building. Apparently it's meant to signify a building turned inside out, so the mechanisms, escalators, pipe work, girders are all on the outside.
A massive art collection inside too. Will be much more appealing to travellers who enjoy art, but for people who don't have an inclination towards art appreciation (such as me), still a great place to visit.
Excelent infrastructure, in a one of a kind building. A must see attraction in Paris. Full of important artistic works!
Nice modern museum the first Sunday of the month the entrance it's free, I like the outside but the art I'm not too fan of this kind of modern art, aniway we enjoy it
One of my favorite museums of all time, this contemp art museum has paintings by Kandinsky, Picasso, Matisse, Juan Gris, and Sonia Delaunay to name a few. In addition to the awesome art collection, I love the views from the 5th floor. It was overall a wonderful experience! You can t go wrong (if you enjoy modern art).
If you like Modern Art, you will really appreciate the Pompidou. It has a cafe at the top which allows you to get some great views across the city.
Worth checking out to see an ancient church being restored. Architecture unrivaled. Worth the time to visit.
Ingenious museum of modern and contemporary art. Considerable collection and good changing exhibitions. Buy tickets online best, so you have the shorter queue.
Beautiful contemporary art center. Also interesting to see inside and outside. Unique in the world
I agree with others allow for around two hours depending on how fast you want to walk and look of course. Be sure to allow time to enjoy the outside of the structure since it is such a unique building. Although this museum has almost 6 million visitors a year it wasn t as busy as you would expect. Plenty of room to move around and take photos. Simply unique, couldn t be rated any less.
Always was a fan of exterior and some excellent shows
Fabulous modern art from Matisse and Picasso to Andy Warhol and more recent
A building that, without effort, stands out in the organized and orderly Parisian architecture. The building itself is already a work to be admired. The space functions as a cultural center, hosting cinema, theater, exhibition of paintings, sculptures, etc.
There are several amenities: lockers, toilets, snack bars, ...
What can I say, it's always taking me by surprise, the art exhibitions always have something to catch the eye and bring attention to another perspective. Anyone skipping this is at a loss for a cultural experience of the 1st class.
View of Paris was good ....but museum was boring for us. ....specially for people who have seen amazing paintings in India ..... May be don't able to find something there
I've been coming to Paris for 20 years now and I can not help but jump over here. Steel, plastic, truly skilfully tacked by the young and visionary Renzo Piano. A touch of Italianity in the heart of Paris. Too Good :-)
Scary place yet very artistic, it's like a journey to your subconscious mind to face your fear and experience many emotions like guilt, joy, jealousy, lust and pain. it's located in a district called le Marais where you can spend a whole day walking around with interesting cafes and restaurants. highly recommend this place if you are into art and have many days to stay in Paris.
I thought the building was covered in scaffolding but it s the actual building. Very busy and thank goodness there were escalators to take you up the floors.
Still looking pretty from the outside, but I still don't know what's inside !!!
Some really interesting art and some great views of the Paris skyline.
We loved this quirky, unexpected stop. In a city famed for classical art, this unusually designed, modern-ish, concept construction actually houses some very famous and lovely works of art. There are newer and edgier works, as well. Didn't know scatalogical art was a thing until I came here... A nice contrast to the Louvre and Orsay, this is well worth a visit for the escalators alone.
Not as crowded as other galleries. Superb Kandinsky collection
Spacious and well organized. A delight for anyone who likes modern or contemporary art.
Modern Art Museum. Beautiful view from the roof of the museum. If you do not want to visit the museum itself, you can go up to its observation deck for 3 and admire the exclusive view of Paris.
It is worth going up to see the views and if it is free to see the museum of modern and contemporary art that is curious and rare but enriching. They are reflective museums in which you will like the works after having left them or you will detest them. I do not like contemporary art and leave very happy
The building that launched Renzo Piano in the Archistar Olympus and transformed a district of Paris making it one of the most visited places in the center.
Fantastic museum! Loved every minute! Download the app to check the line time as it can be lengthy!
Big, nice, well organize by period and tons of famous paintings
Very nice exhibition Bacon. Aging center including escalator side to review.
A very cultural museum, a very original architecture
Atypical architecture. The expos are well chosen. The place is very nice. Book it's tickets in advance
Exceptional place, probably the best. Great bookstore.
Post-modern eyesore or functionalist dream-scape?
Nice book shop.
The Centre opened 45 minutes late when I went and there was no communication from staff. This left a lot of people waiting in the sun. The layout isn't intuitive. Tastes on contemporary art will vary and I didn't find most of the collection interesting. I appreciated the collection from the early 20th century.
I discover there at each visit an artist who touches me. Yesterday Christian Boltanski
A chic museum with a huge collection that tells in detail about the art of the XX-XXI centuries: the main directions, ideas invested in the work. There is also a large collection of Russian artists: from Goncharova and Chagall, to Prigov and Bulatov; there is also a section devoted to architecture and design: constructivism, de Steyl (neoplasticism), the Bauhaus, international style, early modernism. In general, this museum is worth visiting for everyone and everyone, if only because it is a great way to understand how the past century lived and how the present lives (especially if there is an audio guide), and, of course, this is a good way to understand your attitude to the art of the latest time
crazy building architecture with lots of Art on the side. Get here early as the line forms and takes forever.
We just took a walk inside. Too bad they did not participate in the heritage days!
Even off season the lines are very long and slow - security, exhibitions tickets, roof, toilets. We skipped, have better things to do with our time in Paris.
I highly recommend it, the quality of the meals, the atmosphere and the friendliness of the waiters.
Only for modern art lovers, others will only see colors and patterns.
excellent and interesting museum with great views of Paris from top floor
There is a large library with access from the back street of downtown
Not famous, to return it can take hours and the home is not at all pleasant. There are many interesting things to discover, but the staff and very very very rude and disrespectful; think about renewing and reworking your HR systems. I am quite disappointed to have lost my time coming to a place like this.
Testimony of two very talented young architects who won the competition for the Beaubourg center in 1976. Not to be missed
Great views of the Eiffel Tower at night. Be wary of pickpockets and street sellers though.
If there is such a timeless and exotic place at the same time if I can afford it, this place is definitely worth a visit! Either for your provincial friends or Tourists addicted to the beauties of our capital! Whether from the outside or inside we are admiring! Top cool!
There were a lot of people who didn't go here, so I put it off and went to a free store. I was lucky. It was really good. I didn't expect it, but I kept thinking I was good. Louvre. Picasso. Then Pompidou. I think in order.
Loved the lastest exhibition on coding and algorithms and the galleries were wonderful as well. The view from the top is fabulous of the city.
For me, this is the #1 must see place in all of Paris. The building itself is a spectale. The view from the top floor is remarkable. Go on the first Sunday to see their general permanent collection for free.
The construction is amazing and the collection of works fantastic
Expansive modern art museum. Also with fantastic view of the city. You can spend an entire day experiencing the huge galleries and permanent exibitions alone.
Great artworks, and building itself is quite interesting. The view from the top is ok, but not worth doing on its own, it's includes in the standard ticket.
The architect of this place is Turkish. I'm shocked.
Excellent, very democratic place. Always interesting exhibitions, fast internet, free toilets, cozy cafes. That's just the library from the side of Bobur often a long queue. But you can also stand up if you need to work and see the Internet, besides there is a cheap cafe and convenient places to work. Internet speed is just great!
Pompidou is so fun. The building is whimsical and they have unique exhibits and a great selection of contemporary artists.
One of our favorites.. Nice go to Georges for the view and a cocktail.
We arrived with a toddler and was pleasantly surprised at how spacious the centre is, we had no issues exploring with our toddler. There are vast galleries to explore and travelling around the building is a pleasure! There us a fantastic collection of art/sculpture on shop. The centre is vast and can.hoat alot of people not making it feel busy or cramped. There is a great gallery for kids which had a good range of activities for us to enjoy. The cafe is also worth a visit for a healthy fresh lunch. A must visit for anyone visiting Paris
The center Pompidou is an amazing building located right in the center of Paris. This High-Tech architecture from the 1970s includes a museum of modern art, a large library, a cinema archives, polyvalent exhibition spaces, a restaurant, shops, an underground carpark and more.
Best museum for modern art viewing. Very diverse and full of wonders. Must go place in Paris.
Still my favourite piece of architecture that started a wonderful modernist period. Enjoy it.
The line took forever and this inside was a disappointment. The cleaning needs to be better as it was dirty inside and out. Step up the game Pompidou!!
Amazing place, it's a great place to visit in Paris.
