Museum free first Sunday of the month.

The national center for art and culture was created on president Pompidou’s initiative in the beaubourg district. Designed by architects, rogers and piano, this gigantic building exposes its steel frame, glass walls and bright colors. The centre was closed for renovation and extension work and reopened in 2000. The building serves several purposes, housing the national museum of modern art, the public information library, the acoustic and musical research and co-ordination institute, the temporary exhibition galleries and show area.
