What is Centre Pompidou?

Centre Pompidou. Second in the world only to New York’s MoMA. The Pompidou center not only houses over 50,000 works of art by 5000 artists but it is a work of art itself. Opened in 1977 after a competition was won by the then-unknown architectural duo of Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, the centre was an immediate success.

How many works of art are in the Centre Pompidou?

Centre Pompidou is the third most visited Paris attraction with about 5.5 million visitors a year Although the Centre Pompidou contains over 50,000 works of art, only about 600 works can be seen at any one time as most of them are in storage, waiting to be re-hung and re-curated every year

Why is the Centre Pompidou so ironic?

The Centre Pompidou could be considered ironic in its medieval quarter, with its juxtaposing modern façade As the brainchild of President Georges Pompidou, the museum was commissioned to provide a cultural center focused on and championing only all modern art Whilst it was in its inception, a national competition ran to design the building.

How many visitors does the Pompidou have a day?

The Pompidou was designed to accommodate 5000 visitors a day, but now attracts over 20,000 daily. The inside-outside approach to the building was popular with the public as well as the idea of having a multi-disciplinary space (museum, library, exhibition and performance spaces).
