The Pompidou Centre no longer needs an introduction. It was commissioned by President Georges Pompidou, and designed in an original style by the architects Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers. The Beaubourg Museum was inaugurated in 1977.

The museum houses the most important collection of contemporary and modern paintings and sculptures in Europe. Likewise, special conferences and workshops are available to help the young public to discover and appreciate modern art and contemporary artists.

This is part of the museum's policy : to promote understanding and appreciation of modern art.
