We know that looking for somewhere to park near the Center Pompidou can be a challenge. Paris' 2 hour parking limit, plus the fact it’s €4 an hour doesn’t make the situation any easier. But don’t worry, there is another way! With Parclick you can book a parking space in the 4th arrondissement in advance, as well as choose how long you want to park for!
The Georges-Pompidou National Art and Cultural Centre should not be missed during any trip to Paris! You can discover such a variety of modern art - photographs, short films, sculptures and much more!
Even the museum itself is a work of art! It’s surrounded by different coloured tubes, which all have a different function depending on their colour. Green pipes provide water and blue pipes are responsible for the oxygen reply.
When the museum opened in 1977, it was the cause for many heated debates, it was controversial and therefore earned itself nicknames like the "Notre Dame of the Pipes" or just an "Oil refinery".
No matter how controversial the Center Pompidou was or still is, the idea behind the museum’s creation is definitely honourable! Former President Georges Pompidou wanted to create a place where all citizens - whether poor or rich - could have free access to contemporary art and culture.
With a total of approximately 70,000 works, the Centre Pompidou has the largest collection of modern and contemporary art. Here you will find various masterpieces from Picasso, Kandinsky to Jeff Koons. There is also a library, a bookshop, the Brancusi studio, as well as a cinema, theatre and lecture rooms. It is definitely worth taking a look at the Centre Pompidou event programme, so you do not miss any of the shows, themed exhibitions or other highlights.
Of course, there is much more to discover around the museum! How about a visit to one of the numerous theatres in the area, such as the Théâtre du Renard, the Théâtre de l'Essaïon or the Théâtre de la Ville? In addition, there are many museums, churches and galleries nearby.
If you just want to catch some fresh air, just in front of the Pompidou Center is Stravinsky Square with the Stravinsky Fountain.
