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!

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!

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 SarıtaşMarch 12, 2016
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. ✔️
Fleur JulieMarch 20, 2017
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.

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!
Katy ZackAugust 21, 2016
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.
BrommaboOctober 30, 2016
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.
Shirley LiuMarch 3, 2014
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!
Des ChoJuly 3, 2022
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 LittlerMay 23, 2015
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!!
eric bornemannJuly 16, 2020
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.

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

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!
Sanne ThijsJanuary 8, 2017
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.
Bianca BuenoAugust 11, 2014
Been here 5+ times
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!
Thomas MNovember 27, 2014
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.
Jan-Willem CallebautJanuary 8, 2017
Awesome modern art museum. Everything after musee d'Orsay ... nice combo if you ask me
A.August 11, 2015
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
AoStefanFebruary 17, 2018
A must for art lovers and romantics :-)
Čarbara BernekováOctober 21, 2019
The must see spot in Paris. I definitelly fall in love with unique art works. There is really great view from the top.
ArMarch 5, 2017
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.
Kunal KalroJune 23, 2014
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.
Tugce EsenerSeptember 18, 2016
Buy the tickets online to skip the long que. There's a great cafe on the third floor with an amazing view of Paris.
DocumentallyOctober 8, 2022
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.
Laura AldridgeJuly 22, 2018
Great view as you go up the lift. Packed full of exhibitions and huge range of modern art to suit all tastes.
Enrico AlbanesiAugust 14, 2014

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.

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.
Alex ValApril 7, 2018
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.
Dougie ShirlawFebruary 19, 2015
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.
Ece CDecember 20, 2014
Always remarkable exhibitions, try to visit in the morning and use "billetterie automatique" which is also available just before the entrance of the galleries, to avoid waiting in line.
Jameela AhliApril 26, 2014
Great peaces of art and wonderful views of Paris! Visit the fountain next to the pompidou for extra outdoors joyful art
Trave77erOctober 24, 2022
Great free open air panoramic views of Paris from the 5th floor, better than the enclosed 6th! 📷👌
Mr. Mu~ © 🚗February 12, 2017
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.
Sophie ThiebautAugust 26, 2014
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.
B. Aaron TalbotJanuary 28, 2017
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
Marina BurityMay 11, 2015
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!
New York HabitatOctober 11, 2011
In a very unique building, this modern art museum has some of the world’s best works, but visitors often miss the panoramic view from the balconies.
A.September 13, 2013
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.
Social News NetworkApril 19, 2013
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
