It is one of the world’s most famous pieces of modern architecture, the Pompidou Centre opened in 1977, when architects Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano startled everyone by turning the building “inside out”, with brightly colored pipes displayed on the façade. Designed as a cross-cultured arts complex, it houses the Musée National d’Art Moderne (Modern Art Museum) as well as a cinema, library, shops, and performance space. The outside forecourt is a popular gathering-spot for tourists and local alike.
