	Centre Pompidou - Le Centre Pompidou - Art culture musée expositions cinémas conférences débats spectacles concerts
		Le Centre national d'art et de culture Georges Pompidou est né de la volonté du Président Georges Pompidou de créer au cœur de Paris une institution culturelle originale entièrement vouée à la création moderne et contemporaine où les arts plastiques voisineraient avec le théâtre, la musique, le cinéma, les livres, les activités de parole...
		Le succès que connaît très vite le Centre, un succès imprévu dans son ampleur, a entraîné un vieillissement prématuré des installations.
		Réouvert le 1er janvier 2000, le Centre a d'emblée retrouvé le succès, plébiscité par un public témoignant ainsi de son attachement et de son adhésion continue à ce lieu et à son esprit.

		Centre Pompidou is beginning to bulge out of the building designed by Piano and Rogers in 1971, one of the principal architectural models for all museums constructed over the past thirty years.
		The reasons for this are the broad range of activities performed in the centre, which embraces all dimensions of contemporary art (painting, sculpture, drawing, architecture, design, photography, video, cinema, dance...) and has led to huge growth in the institution's permanent collections and archives.
		A team of people from Centre Pompidou and the city of Metz are working on preparation of an international design competition to be announced by the end of June.

		There is hardly a shopping mall, cinema complex or sports centre built since 1980 from Australia to Athens that has not adopted in part the visual vocabulary invented by the Centre Pompidou.
		To Paris, a city that is soberly clad in stone, the Centre was a revelation.
		A spokesman for the centre said he was surprised by Rogers' comments and suggested he might have come in person to see how the public is reacting.

	Centre Pompidou Paris by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers
		The Centre Pompidou is something of a victim of its own success.
		It was much criticized for requiring temporary closure for a major renovation after only twenty years' service, but this is at least mitigated by the volume of people it has been required to host: over 25,000 per day, compared with the 5,000 anticipated.
		The Centre Pompidou broke the mold with its 'inside out' construction: the steel skeleton from which the floors are suspended dominantly visible from the outside, together with the giant external escalators, with the color-coded service ducts exposed on both the inside and out.
