Pompidou Center in Paris Coming to Seoul's Yeouido?

The Pompidou Center (Centre Pompidou), an icon of the Place Beaubourg in Paris, with its groundbreaking exposed pipeline exterior that has inspired artists worldwide, is finally anchoring in Seoul. On June 4, 2026, the annex of the 63 Building in Yeouido will be reborn as 'Pompidou Center Hanwha.' Experience the essence of 20th-century modern art on the Han River without traveling to Paris – a historic moment is about to unfold.


Breaking the Frame of Vision: Inaugural Exhibition 'Cubists: Innovators of Vision'

The first page announcing the start of Pompidou Center Hanwha is decorated by the masters of Cubism. This inaugural exhibition highlights over 40 innovators who changed the landscape of modern art, including Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Fernand Léger.

The highlight of this exhibition is undoubtedly Picasso's large-scale ballet stage curtain. This masterpiece, painted with overwhelming scale and intense brushstrokes, is making its debut on Korean soil. Feel the visual shock created by Cubism among 90 rare works.

The partnership with the Pompidou Center does not end with this one event. Until 2027, Chagall's dreamy colors, Kandinsky's abstract rhythms, and Matisse's intense vitality will visit Seoul in turn. Yeouido has now become the center of the global art map.


63 Building, From Vertical Landmark to Horizontal Art

The gold bar-shaped 63 Building, which symbolized Seoul's growth, has now evolved into a cultural landmark exuding the fragrance of art. Pompidou Center Hanwha will be more than just a space to hang works; it will be a crossroads where the unique free artistic spirit of France meets the dynamism of Seoul.

A Picasso sketch you suddenly encounter while strolling along the river, the breath of 20th-century masters appreciated against the backdrop of the sunset over the Han River. Pompidou Center Hanwha will be the most sophisticated hideout to awaken your inspiration in the busy city.
