The Stravinsky Fountain – A Homage in Movement

A living work in the heart of Paris

Just a stone's throw from the Centre Pompidou , the Stravinsky Fountain attracts attention with its bright colours and extravagant shapes. Created in 1983 by artists Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle , this work is a vibrant tribute to the composer Igor Stravinsky , one of the great pioneers of modern music. With its moving sculptures and synchronised water jets, the fountain is a celebration of art in motion, a dialogue between music, painting and sculpture.

A meeting between creativity and innovation

The fountain is composed of 16 sculptures inspired by Stravinsky's works , such as The Firebird or The Rite of Spring . Each sculpture represents an instrument or a musical theme, mixing abstract forms and figurative representations. The mechanical elements created by Jean Tinguely breathe life into this work, while Niki de Saint Phalle adds her bright and playful palette.

But what makes this fountain unique is its integration into the urban space: a visual and sound spectacle accessible to all, which transforms an ordinary square into a living artistic scene.
