Website | EmailCommonly known as the Beaubourg, this distinctive building was commissioned in 1968 by the then President Georges Pompidou, and opened in 1977. Most Parisians were initially shocked by its unconventional 'inside out' architectural style: air conditioning, escalators and lifts are all on the outside, giving the interior unparalleled freedom. Extensively refurbished in the late 1990s, the centre is home to the Musée National d'Art Moderne, the Brancusi Atelier and a huge public library (Bibliothèque Public D’Information) as well as temporary exhibitions, cinemas, and other attractions. Hours vary for individual attractions.
