Centre National d'Art et de Culture George Pompidou
Surrounded by 11,000 sq m (36,090 sq ft) of glass, the postmodern Centre National d'Art et de Culture George Pompidou is an art gallery, an acoustic research center, and a vast public library. As you approach the front of this high-tech structure, you'll see a 7.6-m (25-ft) freestanding mobile sculpture called "Horizontal" by Alexander Calder. The center’s art curators have assembled a marvelous introduction of conceptual art consisting of approachable works that are sure to delight, amuse, and entertain. After you browse each of the building's seven floors, be sure not to skip the fine restaurant by the Costes brothers on the roof.

Good collection for contemporary art lovers and nice building both from inside and outside. It was closing at 10 PM, so I could walk around almost every floor. Outside of the building there are some shows at evening: worth watching!!! One of the most entertaining and impressive shows I've ever seen (I have not seen much ;-))) The group "3 Warriors" will always be in my heart.

Fantastic art gallery in a really cool building with amazing views over the city from the top floor. The modern art collection is great, but the contemporary galleries is where it really shines. I loved the Dada exhibition. Nice cafe which could do with a few more vegan options, but the coffee was great. Well worth a visit.
