Centre Pompidou
Inside-out architecture, Europe's largest modern art collection.
What to Expect
Rogers and Piano's controversial 1977 building put structure on the outside. 100,000+ works from Picasso to present. The escalator ride up the exterior. The piazza life below.
The Tip
The escalator ride is free — worth it for the view alone. Top floor terrace at sunset. The Brancusi studio outside. The design library is excellent. Marais streets around it.
