    Observing the sea lions playing or eating is a treat. The pool is quite large and gives the opportunity to observe the sea lions underwater through transparent glass walls. They can be observed from several angles. They can also be seen when it floats on the surface of the pond.

    (Translated by Google) It is a polycultural establishment born from the desire of President Georges Pompidou, a great lover of modern art, to create in the heart of Paris an original cultural institution entirely devoted to modern and contemporary creation where the visual arts would be associated with books, drawing, music as well as cinema. Beautiful place inside and out. We can go a whole day without seeing the time go by. Very nice view over Paris on the top floor. Careful, work in progress the national museum of modern art will notably have to undergo asbestos removal and a total renovation. It will close “completely” from the end of 2023 to the beginning of 2027. (Original) C'est un établissement polyculturel né de la volonté du président Georges Pompidou, grand amateur d'art moderne, de créer au cœur de Paris une institution culturelle originale entièrement vouée à la création moderne et contemporaine où les arts plastiques voisineraient avec les livres, le dessin, la musique ainsi que le cinéma. Endroit manifique intérieur comme l'extérieur. Nous pouvons passer une journée entière sans voir passer le temps. Très belle vue sur paris au dernier étage. Attention travaux le musée national d’art moderne va devoir notamment subir un désamiantage et une rénovation totale. Il fermera « complètement » de la fin 2023 à début 2027.

    Great show by these very beautiful animals. Children love them. The moment of feeding them is an opportunity to observe their movements outside the pool. It's very nice to see them.

    (Translated by Google) Very disappointing ... we could not enter the aviary and very few birds were present. The Blue Macaws announced were not there to the disappointment of my son. The entry of the park to 5euros per person plus the price of each activities it quickly becomes a visit which is expensive. Positive point the park is very clean. (Original) Très décevant...nous n'avons pas pu entrer dans la volière et très peu d'oiseaux étaient présents. Les Ara bleus annoncés n'étaient pas là à la grande déception de mon fils. L'entrée du parc à 5euros par personne plus le prix de chaques activités cela devient très vite une visite qui coûte cher. Point positif le parc est très propre.

    A perfect example of how a Modern Art Museum should be. Starting from the building itself, everything you see inside and out is very artistic and beautiful. No long-lines, and the view from the outside stairs is amazing.

  • 5/5 Darla M. 3 years ago on Google
    Very extensive and modern collection of art here at the Pompidou. Worth a visit if you like Picasso or Kandinsky etc. Nice gallery space on the top floor, and you can go an sit outside on a bench or a deck chair during your visit. The floor below that had many installations which were interesting just personally not my cup of tea, however I’m glad I went! The architecture of the building is also very interesting in its itself; I found it quite intimidating but cool nonetheless. Unfortunately there were building works when we visited so couldn’t use the cool escalators.

  • 5/5 Lee D. 3 years ago on Google
    The Centre Pompidou is really worth visiting if you are looking for some unique and creative artwork. The building itself is of an unusual design and is interesting in its layout. I found the art here to be more modern and interactive than that which would be found in a normal museum. While I was there an artist called Pierre Huyghe had an exhibition and it was some of the most unique work I had ever seen. I highly recommend visiting The Centre Pompidou!

  • 4/5 Nameless 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice to visit when the works are original and not too contemporary. In addition, free for those under 25. (Original) Sympa à visiter quand les oeuvres sont originales et pas trop comtemporaines. De plus, gratuit pour les moins de 25 ans.

  • 4/5 Xin C. 4 years ago on Google
    The collection of contemporary arts are magnificent. The featured art exhibition is excellent as well! As for the building of Centre Pompidou itself, it is not so good in my humble opinion, I am afraid. It feels more of city shopping mall, instead of an arts venue. With that said, Pompidou is still a great place to visit if you can spare a few hours.

  • 5/5 annie b. 1 year ago on Google
    Le parc zoologique est superbe.le charme de ce zoo est qu'il faut souvent chercher les animaux qui sont très nombreux contrairement à se que certains disent !!!plus de 4 km de découvertes...il faut prendre le plan pour ne rien rater. Prévoir au moins 2 h et demi de visite.il y a plusieurs endroits pour se restaurer.il y a aussi de nombreux bancs pour se reposer. Quand le zoo a été refait on a rajouté beaucoup de végétation. C'est un plus quand on se promène. Comme au jardin des plantes on peut parrainer des animaux. Pour résumer le parc zoologique est un lieu de visite aussi bien pour les enfants que pour les adultes...

    Museum of Modern Art, with a building with questionable architecture (it gets a little better at night, lit up), presents a collection with beautiful Kandinskys, Matisses, a Polock (not from its best phase, as they are all in New York), Picassos , Duchamp's famous bicycle wheel, Miró trying to be Monet with his blue triptych, a bride by Chagall, Klee and other exponents of modern and contemporary art. It is not unanimous, like the L'Orangerie Museum, but it is worth the visit.

  • 5/5 Ido N. 3 years ago on Google
    Great museum for modern and contemporary art. Don't let the external size deter you, because the collection spans "only" on two floors. Pretty unique and iconic pieces, some marked as VIP (in Red). Guided tours offer a glimpse to the museum highlights and the guides are knowledgeable and collaborative in their explanations.

  • 5/5 Wai p. 3 years ago on Google
    A masterpiece created by Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano. The museum has a wide collection of world class modern and contemporary art. All the art work was curated in chronological order which helps visitors to navigate. They also have a very impressive architecture section which will attract and allow architecture lovers to understand the local architecture and architecture around the world whether if it is modern or not. Will definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Brandon F. 3 years ago on Google
    Home of the world-class Musée National d'Art Moderne. It is the largest, and one of the greatest, collections of modern art in the world and is *not* to be missed by any art lover in Paris. It's a little pricy but it's worth the cost of admission. Leave your conceptions at the door and enter a world of artistic experimentation. I'd recommend leaving aside at least half a day to explore the musée. The building itself is one of the world's best examples of high-tech architecture with it's iconic outdoor escalators. The collection covers 20th-century and contemporary art. For earlier modern art, go to the Musée d'Orsay. If you're just a fan of Picasso, you might prefer the nearby Musée Picasso instead

    (Translated by Google) The wonder comes with you there: all the rooms and galleries of the Pompidou center offer an upset aesthetic of the contemporary and the post-contemporary. Minimalism, Cubism, Dadaism, avant-garde works, and even the most brutal scenes appear before your eyes which, all tormented, recognize at each point a new sense of beauty. It is absolutely necessary to visit it and to let the eyes and the feet wander in the very heart of thought, philosophy and art today. (Original) La merveille y vient vous accompagnez : toutes les salles et les galeries du centre pompidou offrent au regard une esthétique bouleversé du contemporain et du postcontemporain. Le minimalisme, le cubisme, le dadaïsme, les œuvres avant-gardiste, et mêmes les scènes les plus brutales surgissent devant vos yeux qui, tout tourmentés, reconnaisset à chaque point un nouveau sens de la beauté. Faut le visiter absolument et laisser les yeux et les pieds errer au cœur même de la pensée, de la philosophie et de l'art d'aujourd'hui.

  • 5/5 Andrey N. 3 years ago on Google
    A high-tech structure with inside-out construction that startled its Parisian neighbors. Most French presidents like to leave their own architectural mark on Paris, none more so than Georges Pompidou, Gaullist prime minister from 1962 to 1968 and president from 1969 until 1974. It is ironic that this conservative statesman is associated with one of the most radical, futuristic buildings of the age. Designed by Briton Richard Rogers and Italian Renzo Piano, the building established Rogers’s signature mark of exposing a building’s services, such as water and air conditioning, in pipes on the outside. Rudely, some critics dubbed this style Bowellism, and the building was unpopular in many architectural circles when it opened in 1977. An artistic success story. The building—known colloquially as the Beaubourg due to the area of Paris in which it stands—is 149 ft (45.5 m) tall. Its outer framework is covered with brightly colored pipes, ducts, and external elevators. Inside, the building houses the largest modern art museum in Europe, an experimental music center, and a library.
