Center Georges Pompidou
Also known as the Pompidou Center, this is theParis Art Center, which makes Paris a mecca for international art. Paris houses the biggest Modern art and contemporary art exhibition in Europe, and about 30 special exhibitions are held each year. It exhibits works of art with a vast range of sculptures as well as visual arts. It is also close to the Marais district, so accessibility is good for tourists, and there are plenty of good restaurants and cafes in the surrounding area, making it a must visit when you plan your trip to Paris.
The first thing you will notice in the Pompidou Center is the building itself. Originally, the pipes that were to be inside were designed to be left exposed. The three-dimensional view of the inside of the building raises curisoirty and makes for a modern architeture building.
You can go to the top of the building via escaltor and catch an unparalleled view of paris.

Kleine Welten series, Wassily Kandinsky
Fontaine - Marcel Duchamp
Marcel Duchamp's fountain is a work exhibited at the art exhibition named Sam in the toilet. There was a lot of controversy about whether this toilet was a work of art at that time, but it became the work which informed the beginning of 20th century contemporary art.
George Brecht (1925 - 2008), Three Arrangements
Cloak, chair, cupboard. George Brecht created artworks with three objects. As a pioneer of conceptual art, he reinterpreted art and ordinary life.
Fang Lijun, Sans titre, 2003
It is like a monk's head clippers gathered together. The orange color on the repetitive face makes the impression stronger. Fang Lijun's was an important figure in contemporary Chinese art.
Danh Vo - Sea of Fertility (After Mishima)
Dahn is a Vietnamese-born artist who grew up in Denmark. It seems like there is a piece in the middle of the wallpaper, but the printed wallpaper and the frame are one piece.
Jean-Luc Vilmouth - Café Little boy
A work of art with a pastel-tone and a writing board filled with writing and rusty desks and chairs. She is a French sculptor and her installation art, Café Little Boy, is a work that makes us think again about the concept of the exhibition. At an elementary school in Hiroshima, which was devastated by atomic bombing, She got the idea to install a wall with the messages of survivors on the chalkboard.
The boutiques and bookstores are recommended in Paris! It is full of memorable objects, small accessories made by the artist, and inspired accessories.
