About Pompidou Center

Centre Georges Pompidou, commonly shortened to Centre Pompidou is also known in English as the Pompidou Centre. It is a museum and creative centre in the heart of Paris. The Centre Pompidou features exhibitions, a museum, concerts, and live shows for anyone interested in modern art and culture. It is the go-to place for 20th and 21st-century art. Go on a journey to explore the present, with photography, experimental film, architecture, and design.

Constantin Brancusi left his entire estate to the French state when he passed, and an exact replica of his studio was created just opposite the Centre Pompidou to house his entire collection, including 137 sculptures, 41 drawings, two paintings, and over 1,600 photographs. The Bibliothèque Kandinski, though only open to serious researchers, is one of the most important libraries of its kind, focusing on a collection where all visual arts are included. Delight in making something on your own or as a family. What better souvenir, than making one yourself!
