Description
Much maligned when it first opened, it took people some time to realize that the Centre Pompidou wasn’t a monster, it was radically new. It’s only fitting that this rule-breaking building hosts so many iconoclastic modern masterpieces, as it sets the stage for the groundbreaking masterpieces inside.
Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Dadaism, and Surrealism, are all laid out chronologically over the course of the 20th century. Along the way, you’ll see works by Picasso, Man Ray, Chagall and others.
The centre also includes a vast public library, a research centre for acoustics and music, and some of the best views of the city. The top floor also offers the stunning views of the Eiffel Tower.
