Take the multi pass : many museums & no line ups which can be crazy like at the Louvres...also, visit for the afternoon & finish at the rooftop to enjoy a fantastic view of Paris in the sunset . Voilà!

A

Great selection of modern and contemporary art . Works by Mattise, Picasso and Kahlo can be found here besides other works that track the 20th artistic movements from cubism, expressionism to dadaism!

Dorothy????Boo Larosa????????????

The museum is amazing BUT the bathrooms need work and the food in the cafe is overpriced and sub-par ... Also it is rather crowded but well worth it if you like I love modern and contemporary art !

Gamze Alhamo Sarıtaş

This building is a good sample of typical and modern architecture . When you start to walk around the building you can see exhibition and historical places at the same time. ✔️

Tugce Esener

Buy the tickets online to skip the long que. There's a great cafe on the third floor with an amazing view of Paris .

Frankie J. ???? Grey

Incredible multi-disciplinary complex, not only a modern art museum with temporary expositions but also 2 cinemas sala, a great public library , and a peformance space!

eric bornemann

One of the best museums in the world for art from the 20th century and onwards. Take the time to linger, learn and fall in love with the art , the building, and the views .

Fleur Julie

There are various galleries within and you need a lot of time to see it all. Get the ticket to see everything even though you don't plan to, it gives you access to see the most amazing view of Paris .

Katy Zack

An amazing modern and contemporary art collection housed in a cool building. Ride the escalators to the top floor and take in some amazing views of the city .

Sanne Thijs

If you love modern art it is the place to be, but you have to wait for everything. There is lots of chaos in the cloakroom, make sure you have ticket for the museum before you stand in line .

Brommabo

Europes biggest museum for modern art , expect visit take at least 2-3 hour. Come in the evening for line is shorter and less people for museum many days has open late .

Des Cho

Library with free access on the second floor. There’s also a cool free comic exhibition in the library . Great place to have a break from walking up and down the city (without spending any money).

Claire Littler

If you're not in the mood for the art , definitely pay €3 to go to the view of Paris at the top! Amazing view !!

B. Aaron Talbot

on top of the phenomenal twombly exhibit , this museum has wonderful art and arranges it in a way that shows the conversations happening in different art movements...must go and see

Bianca Bueno

It was an impressive permanent collection of modern art , the exhibitions are great and the view of the roofs of Paris on the highest levels of the building is marvellous. Awesome museum !

Shirley Liu

Quite a few Henri Matisse pieces, a couple of Picasso works but I love Ten Lizes by Andy Warhol most (4th floor). Also amazing Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibit through June 2014!

Enrico Albanesi

One the most famous museum in Paris , enjoy the permanent collection of modern art or the interesting temporary exhibitions ! You can have a great view from the terrasse too.

Čarbara Berneková

The must see spot in Paris. I definitelly fall in love with unique art works. There is really great view from the top.

AoStefan

A must for art lovers and romantics :-)

A.

Modern art museum with free permanent collection (don’t queue, just walk in). The statue of Zidane and Materazzi is in the forecourt. The restaurant on top is mainly worthwhile for the view

Ar

Lovely place to take kids too, the resto on the top has a scenic view , food is like Costes chain so its ????????, staff is nice.

Bobby Solomon

The Centre Pompidou is a 20th-century architectural marvel. It's home to the National Museum of Modern Art and is renowned for its 20th and 21st century art collections

oleg b

Great museum at the 5th floor. Picasso is in chamber 10. Brancusi’s Coloana infinitului is on the left from the entrance. Great for exploring

Jan-Willem Callebaut

Awesome modern art museum . Everything after musee d'Orsay ... nice combo if you ask me

Social News Network

This is one of the world's leading collections of modern art . Everything from Pollock, to Warhol to Miro are on display in this piece of modern architecture . Definitely a must-see when in Paris

The Pompidou Center hosts the largest museum for modern art in all of Europe. Try the entrance located at the back for a quicker entrance into the National Museum of Modern Art !

Becissa ???? Bagetta ????????????????

Queues every where. You wait in queue to enter the building, to buy a ticket, to the cloakroom, to enter the exhibitions , to enter a special exhibition (Magritte ~45 min). Apart from that it is fine.

Documentally

Fantastic. Free lockers downstairs and then start and the top and work your way down. So much to discover. Take breaks and give yourself at least a day.

Wagner Leite

This view from Pompiduo! I loved this museum ! I like modern, new artists . It's a great place! And has a good restaurant on rooftop !

Ieva Andrukaitytė

A must visit in Paris if you enjoy modern art ! They hold many temporary exhibitions that change quite often and their permanent one is worth visiting as well .

Kunal Kalro

A building that houses the most underrated art collection in Paris. For what it's worth, the art was inspiring and I had more fun here than I did in Le Louvré by a long shot.

Marina Burity

What's not to like here? The building is unique, the art displayed contemplates the best representants of modern art and the view from the top is amazing!

Thomas M

For just 3€ you can enjoy a stunning view from the roof top . But you should really consider to spend 13€ and visit the exhibitions .

Laura Aldridge

Great view as you go up the lift. Packed full of exhibitions and huge range of modern art to suit all tastes.

Lux LaCroix

My favorite museum in Paris ! Fabulous permanent collection full of Picassos, Chagalls and Duchamps. A must see if you are a Modern and Contemporary art fan.

Emily Wilson

MoMA of Paris with siqqq architecture and a killer permanent collection. Riding the escalator is half the fun.

Mr. Mu~ © ????

Great museum , a must to visit for art lovers. Don't forget other purchase the ticket online to avoid standing in a queue for a long time.

Dougie Shirlaw

Modern architecture and a good place to discover. Good on site shops for designer goods and books too. Try the elevators too for a good view over the city .

Hype Ain't Sh*t

Awesome bookstore , great coffe place & restaurant , but mainly, some of the best exhibitions in Europe! Make sure you also check the balconies which offer the best panoramic view in Paris!

Alex Val

Always amazingly curated expositions at the Pompidou. All people from EU and under 25 get a free entry to the main floor. Come early to avoid long waiting lines .

Josette

Spend at least 4 hours - start at the top viewing all of Paris and work down floor by floor to the great gift store at the end

A.

Always changing and always the same, the Pompidou has a great permanent collection and temporary exhibits . Don't get put off by queues, walk straight up if you're not interested in a specific show.

Josette

Spectacular modern art collection , great special exhibits , wonderful rooftop cafe and amazing view of Paris

Rebecca

Enjoy the view and take pictures from the restaurant on the roof! You may see the Tour Eiffel, Sacre Cœur and Notre Dame.

Thomas Craenen

Since entrance here is free if you're under 26, go in even if you're not interested in modern art . Very cool building and on the top floor, stunning views on Paris.

Jon Choo

An incredible piece of modern architecture , co designed by Richard Rogers, the architect behind the iconic inside out Lloyd's building in London.

Sophie Thiebaut

Enjoy the exhibitions and make a reservation in time for the restaurant at the roof. Combine it with a walk around Les Marais. Maybe you'll meet a famous artist .

Trave77er

Great free open air panoramic views of Paris from the 5th floor, better than the enclosed 6th! ????????

Sveta Naumova

Such a nice bird's-eye view on Paris from the 6th floor! Awesome! Also sometimes it's faster to enter if you buy the tickets right here. The line with ones with tickets was much longer today..

Anton Skrypnyk
