Art, Architecture, and Iconic Views
at the Centre Pompidou

Explore the inside-out marvel that’s hailed as one of the 20th century’s most radical architectural achievements. At the Centre Pompidou, you’ll wander through Europe’s largest collection of modern and contemporary art, discovering works by Picasso, Kandinsky, Matisse, Man Ray, and more. Don’t miss the top floor, where sweeping views of the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and Sacré-Coeur Basilica reveal Paris in all its glory.

Permanent Collection

Centre Pompidou’s permanent collection is organized into immersive themed zones across multiple floors, each offering a rich, narrative-driven journey through modern and contemporary art. Starting on Level 5, explore the Fauvist and early avant-garde movements (1905–1915) in bright, expressive galleries before transitioning to Level 4, where chronologically arranged contemporary art highlights global post‑1960 currents—from Pop Art and Nouveau Réalisme to Conceptual, Minimalism, and new media—featuring icons like Warhol, Rauschenberg, Buren, Kapoor, and Nam June Paik. Along the way, wander through a succession of themed rooms, bays, walkways, and corridors that weave together monographic, thematic, and chronological displays, offering fresh perspectives on key artists and movements. Together, these thoughtfully curated zones guide visitors through over a century of artistic innovation in a dynamic, spatially engaging way.

Rooftop Views

From the rooftop of Centre Pompidou, gaze out over the Eiffel Tower, the graceful spires of Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the distant silhouette of Sacré-Coeur Basilica atop Montmartre. Framed by the city’s historic rooftops and ever-changing light, it’s a moment of quiet awe high above the bustling streets—a must-see highlight that perfectly complements the museum’s bold architecture and world-class art.
