Center Pompidou – National Museum of Modern Art (MNAM)

Pompidou Center Logo

Since 1977, the Center Pompidou has never ceased to be the place of a lively and committed culture, open to the world. In 2025, he initiated a real metamorphosis that allowed him to stay in motion during the whole time of its renovation. During this period, the ‘ constellation ’ program unfolds in Paris, France and internationally in order to make its spirit shine.

It is therefore quite naturally that the Center Pompidou is joining forces with the opening of the National Design Gallery in Saint-Étienne as an exceptional partner, with other major cultural institutions.
