| Centre Pompidou
The Centre national d'art et de culture Georges Pompidou was the brainchild of President Georges Pompidou who wanted to create an original cultural institution in the heart of Paris completely focused on modern and contemporary creation, where the visual arts would rub shoulders with theatre, music, cinema, literature and the spoken word.
Housed in the centre of Paris in a building designed by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, whose architecture symbolises the spirit of the 20th century, the Centre Pompidou first opened its doors to the public in 1977. After renovation work from 1997 to December 1999, it opened to the public again on 1 January 2000, with expanded museum space and enhanced reception areas. Since then it has once again become one of the most visited attractions in France. Some 6 million people pass through the Centre Pompidou's doors each year, a total of over 190 million visitors in its 30 years.
In a unique location under one roof, the Centre Pompidou houses one of the most important museums in the world, featuring the leading collection ...

Tactile visits and oral tours of the Museum
Oral Tours of the Exhibitions
Visit / Workshops to discover the museum
Blind people are used to using powers of mental reconstruction to perceive the world. They draw on memory, reason, knowledge, experience and imagination. These are the same faculties used to understand the artistic process.
Modern Art is a unique place in which handicap is displaced, and can allow for greater perception and understanding of an art work.
Our activities let visitors discover by touch:
Bronze, marble and granite sculptures (Henri Matisse, Jean Arp)
Contemporary works in mixed media: resin, tar, rope, tile, fabric (Jean Dubuffet)
