A typical building nice to see. the art is chancing after a period so you have to inform yourself before you go if you like it. to find our way it was not very clear which way to go to see what you want to see.

What a wonderful experience -- from the "outside" escalators and stunning city views, to the beautifully hung permanent collection on the fourth and fifth floors. We went on a Thursday evening when they have late hours and had a great time -- no crowds, such a relief after the crush at Musee d'Orsay and the Louvre. Wonderful post-war art, as... More

This is an amazing gallery with such an impressive and extensive collection of modern and contemporary art. Highly recommend the audio guide if you would like extra insight into some of the world.

Some good modern art. Some not so good. After an hr of this I was ready to go. Quite stuffy as lack air circulation. Nice building. Entrance fee was too expensive. 13 euros.

The French Museum of Modern Art on floors 4 and 5 is amazing. Some pieces you love, some leave you frankly bemused but all make you think. Several hours well spent. Using the museum pass was a big plus though as there was a huge queue at the 11 am opening time - both outside and inside at the tills.

This was the last of the three museums that my dad and I visited on our first day to Paris (Bad idea). I walked through the Pompidou like a zombie. However, I could appreciate how interesting and eclectic the art in the collection was, the equally fascinating architecture, and the spectacular view. I look forward to going back when I... More

Picasso's and so much else, not all of it to my taste but it's well presented and a first rate museum, once you actually find it. The centre is sprawling and your best plan is to go ask for information first up otherwise you spend a lot of time looking for the actual museum which is only accessible from the... More

This is an amazing collection of artworks. So many Picasso's I lost count. Many other well known artists and many very interesting works in the contemporary section.

This site presents some peculiarities: 1-Bad flagged! A place that honors so important statesman should take care to be better signposted. When you question where is the elevator, receives the information. Going left ha a huge hallway with hundreds of identical without any marking columns in the hallway. When this almost over the hallway between two steel columns there is... More
