Centre Pompidou-Metz: Entrance

The "Centre Pompidou-Metz", inaugurated in 2010, is one of the most outstanding contemporary art museums in France and an extension of the famous Centre Pompidou in Paris. Located in the city of Metz, in the Lorraine region, it stands out both for the quality of its exhibitions and for its avant-garde architecture, designed by Shigeru Ban and Jean de Gastines. Its building is a masterpiece in itself: a set of luminous volumes covered by a spectacular "hexagonal roof" inspired by a Chinese hat, built with an innovative laminated wood structure. This undulating roof has become a symbol of the city and creates interior spaces that are open, warm and full of natural light. The museum hosts "major temporary exhibitions" that explore modern and contemporary art from multiple perspectives, presenting works from the vast holdings of the Centre Pompidou in Paris and international collections. Visitors can browse its extensive galleries, enjoy monumental installations and discover key artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. The cultural scene is completed with workshops, conferences and activities for all audiences, as well as an outdoor setting that invites strolling thanks to its gardens and its integration with the city. With its blend of innovative architecture, high-level cultural programming and inspiring atmosphere, the Centre Pompidou-Metz has become an essential cultural reference in Europe and a must-see for any lover of art and creativity.
