The Pompidou Center
Renowned for its radical architectural statement, the 1977-opened Pompidou Center brings together galleries and cutting-edge exhibitions, hands-on workshops, dance performances, cinemas and other entertainment venues, with street performers and fanciful fountains outside.
The National Museum of Modern Art, France’s national collection of art dating from 1905 onward, is the main draw; A fraction of its 100,000-plus pieces – including fauvist, cubist and surrealist works, pop art and contemporary works – is on display. Do not miss the spectacular Parisian panorama from the rooftop.
