Inaugurated in 1977, Centre Pompidou is a centre for art and culture where the fine arts interact with live performance, film, music and topical debates. Deeply rooted in the city of Paris yet open to the world and to innovation, Centre Pompidou uses the prism of creation to explore major societal issues and the transformations at work in the contemporary world.
Centre Pompidou conserves Europe's richest and one of the world's largest collections of modern and contemporary art, and lends the most artworks of any museum today. True to its openness to the world and its ambition to make culture and creation available to as many people as possible, Centre Pompidou develops its regional and international action in the form of exhibitions, loans and sustainable partnerships with communities.
