Centre Pompidou

Place Georges Pompidou
Paris,
France

In a unique location under one roof, the Centre Pompidou houses one of the most important museums in the world, featuring the leading collection of modern and contemporary art in Europe, a vast public reference library with facilities for over 2,000 readers, general documentation on 20th century art, a cinema and performance halls, a music research institute, educational activity areas, bookshops, a restaurant and a café. Unswerving in its interdisciplinary vocation and its core mission - to spread knowledge about all creative works from the 20th century and those heralding the new millennium - each year the Centre Pompidou holds thirty or so public exhibitions plus international events - cinema and documentary screenings, conferences and symposiums, concerts, dance and educational activities - many of which go on to other venues in both France and abroad.

Le Centre Pompidou réunit en un lieu unique l'un des plus importants musées au monde possédant la première collection d'art moderne et contemporain en Europe, une grande bibliothèque de lecture publique disposant de plus de 2000 places de travail, une documentation générale sur l'art du XXe siècle, des salles de cinéma et de spectacles, un institut de recherche musicale, des espaces d'activités éducatives, librairies, un restaurant et un café.

Fidèle à sa vocation interdisciplinaire, et à sa mission principale - donner à connaître l'ensemble des productions de la création du XXe siècle et les prémisses de celle du XXIe - le Centre Pompidou propose annuellement au public dans son bâtiment une trentaine d'expositions ainsi que de nombreuses manifestations - cycles de cinéma de fiction, de documentaires, conférences et colloques, concerts, spectacles de danse, activités pédagogiques - de niveau international, activités dont un grand nombre circule ensuite, tant en France qu'à l'étranger.
