Phenomenal modern and contemporary art collection. We spent almost two hours just on the fifth floor, and likely could have spent nearly as long on the fourth floor if we hadn't visited in the evening before closing time. We went back the next day and spent almost as long in the temporary Over the Rainbow exhibit. Fantastic pieces that are well-contextualized with historical and biographical information, as well as connections to other related artistic movements. Would absolutely recommend to anyone with an interest in this era of art.

If you like art then this is a great place to go. Open eyes and mind to some of the material on display but the overall experience on all the different floors is excellent. Love the escalator up the side and enjoyed all the art on display. Definitely a must do for Art lovers. Some permanent and temporary exhibitions. We had less than two hours and rushe around - recommend 3 hours.

Wonderful visit, so much to see and explore and happy they had a modern section too! Easily spent 4-5 hours here! 1 member of staff was a bit rude and shouted at my partner for drinking water... could've been a bit nicer about it. But the other staff were all lovely and professional. Worth a visit!

This is a good modern art museum- recommended for both adults and children. They run creative activity spaces to keep the little ones engaged. The permanent art collection was good and included many big names like Chagal, Matisse, Picasso, etc. The public love the outdoor ( glass enclosed) escalator running up the side of the building, where you gather a good view of the surroundings. The art pieces were well spaced out, the building was well designed- altogether we were glad to make this second visit to this place. Wear good walking shoes- your legs will be fairly tired by the time you covered both the floors.

A fabulous place with incredible views and fantastic art exhibitions. And the most miserable staff in the whole of Paris. You would think that working in surroundings like these would buck up one’s joie de vivre, but what a surly, unsmiling bunch they are. Sad. In all senses.

We were lucky in that we were able to catch the permanent and special exhibits before the closing for renovations. We didn't know that we would be able to do so, as it had been previously announced that the centre would be closing for four years starting in 2023 while being fixed up. When it is open, it is an amazing space. If you are interested in modern art, the collection at Pompidou is incredible, especially as it houses many works by the great modern masters that many might not be familiar with if only used to "textbook" works, i.e. those that are famous regardless of which museums they are in around the world. This serves as a great chance to broaden your appreciation for the artists. I have a fondness for Kadinsky, for example, and he is well represented with pieces that show a bit more of his earlier works and influences. It was obvious during the visit that things were getting ready for the shutdown, with some areas already closed; but the main collections themselves were all open, so we didn't miss out on the main purpose of our visit. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes; it's a huge facility that you can do in one visit, but making a few visits to spend ample time with all the works would be my suggestion. I know that if I lived in Paris, there would be a couple of specific rooms that I would visit frequently just to be with a favorite artist or work.

Inside you will find lots of treasures, the modern and contemporary art that is in the city of Paris' collection. It is quite overwhelming. But note that you should buy your ticket before you arrive, otherwise you will probably stand in a very long line outside where the weather may not be pleasant.

I am an artist and a teacher so I had to go. Also it is closing at the end of the year so go now. My husband is not a contemporary art fan but was a good sport and came along to eat in the Georges restaurant. We had timed tickets and although the line was long it moved quickly. We got there when they opened. The work is grouped by artist and era. One nice touch was art and couture grouped together to get a sense of the time. There were some artists that were new to me and lots of familiar ones. I especially enjoyed seeing the section on art that the Nazis stole or listed as degenerate. They was also a wonderful Brancusi retrospective. The views alone are worth seeing.

Just a magnificent collection of contemporary and modern art. Colourful and exciting; well-curated with good notes. Add in wonderful architecture and amazing views over Paris and it's unmissable. We went on a Thursday - busy but not too bad. I only wish there'd been more cafes / coffee shops as the 1st-floor one had a fairly modest selection. Level 4 was full of classic masterpieces (Mondrian, Duchamps, Kandinsky, Kahlo) and Level 5 was wackier contemporary stuff. Both were huge, so get there as early as you can!

We wanted to see this museum before it closes for the next 5 years. You don't even have to buy a ticket to see the most amazing views of Paris at the top of the building and right out in front. If you want, you can pay a small price to see some Modern art on 2 floors that are actually pretty cool. (Not a Modern Art fan here). Go on their late night so you can see everything as well as watch the sun set on Paris. Beautiful!!! They also have a small dining area and multiple gift shops to keep everyone happy. Get here before its too late!!
