Your Experience

Get over Mona Lisa and broaden your artsy horizon as you discover the true and varied face of art in Paris. As the largest and most renowned museum of modern art in all of Europe, Centre Pompidou represents and explores the notion of art in all its glory. The building which was initially attacked by critics eventually went on to become key in representing a lasting and fruitful appeal. Just as artistic as the collections housed within, the architectural significance of this building is truly staggering. The freedom that Impressionist artists sought and fought for in the past is today freely expressed within the walls of Pompidou.

Over here, you’ll come across the big guns in the art world from Picasso, Matisse, Dali and Duchamp to Chagall, Andy Warhol, Man Ray, and many others. Learn all about their experimental works which forever changed the way we viewed art and see how their contributions led to an awakening of sorts. You will also see contemporary works by living artists. Your guide will shine a whole new light on several art movements that took the world by storm. A true expert in all manners of art, your guide will provide valuable context for you to interpret controversial works and contemplate over its hidden meaning. Be moved by the force that inspired artists to create a lasting impression as you experience their creations in new and exciting ways. By the end of it all, you’d have come out with renewed awareness and established a deeper connection with the wonders of the artistic world.
