I went there in my last day in Paris, I was completely exhausted, and yet, I thought it was the best museum I've been to (well, I'm fond of modern art). There is so much to see, the collection is huge and the architecture of the place is pretty interesting as well. I want definitely to come back there. More

The architecture of the building together with the art and the tactile area for children made for a lovely morning. On the 4th and fifth floors are the permanent contemporary art galleries arranged chronologically from 1900 to the present. These are entered via the outside tube escalators. A truly wonderful experience. More

Second trip to Paris, first visit to the Pompidou Centre. The quality of the works is truly wonderful. I particularly loved the Sonia Delaunays. The paintings and sculptures were wonderfully presented and lit. Yes there were many odd omissions. It's as if someone wants to establish the canon for post 1914 art movements and never quite lets on as to... More

The architecture of the building is so fascinating it's worth a visit alone. The tubes around the building are actually the escalators and it's a great view from the building.

Apart from its particular architecture, Beaubourg is a must for the exhibitions they put on. Soulages, Matisse were some of the last ones I visited and loved. Actually Matisse is still on More

A work of art itself, the museum is fun for kids with its colorful exterior walkways and large open spaces. The exhibit hall had a wide, fairly noisy corridor with side rooms full of exhibits. The art is extraordinary, and very accessible to the kids (apparent from the joy our 5 and 3 year olds took at calling out colors... More

I have been to dozens of museums and thousands of galleries, and I have never spent ALL day. Centre Pompidou has exceptional permanent pieces and well-done installations and special events. Get there when it opens! [And, check because it's closed on a weird day like a Tuesday] More

We bought the Paris Museum pass so we got to see the 4th floor's permanant exposition, "1960 to now" and "before 1960". We expected to be amazed by the modern art located in this awesomly designed building, but beside a 2-3 great pieces, we where very disappointed. One of the worst/vulgar art was a video and picture of a man... More

Touring Paris you are struck by amazingly old buildings with breathtaking sculpture and wonderful style. Then you get to the Pompidou and think where am I. The exterior is the opposite of every location in Paris and depending on your tastes you may find in very unattractive or intriguing. Once you go inside you are amazed. It has an extremley... More
