Centre Pompidou FAQs
With its colorful exterior, you can't miss the Centre Pompidou when you are out and about in Paris.
Ditch the foot traffic and hit the subway – take metro lines 1, 4, 7, 11, and 14 and alight at Rambuteau, Hôtel de Ville or Châtelet.
Parking spaces are available for a fee, but can be booked in advance.
With a food scene like Paris, you can rely on some delicious dining options located inside the Centre Pompidou.

Architect Renzo Piano designed the famous ‘inside out’ museum, featuring air vents and colorful pipes on the exterior and transparent glass walls. When it was first built in 1977, the exterior of the building was considered controversial.

About: Centre Pompidou
Europe's largest collection of modern and contemporary art (oh yes, there is a difference!) is housed in a building that was deemed to be architecturally daring in the 20th century. The building features plumbing and piping on the outside and Picasso and Pollock on the inside. And to top it all off, from the rooftop you'll find gorgeous views of Paris and the Eiffel Tower.
The Centre Pompidou is one of Paris's 'Big Three' museums – the other two being the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay. The Louvre holds art and artifacts from up until 1848. The Musée d'Orsay contains the world's greatest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art, all produced between the years 1848-1914. The Centre Pompidou holds 20th and 21st-century works (created after 1914). Altogether, the three museums house a complete timeline of Western art history.
