The museum with 100,000 invisible works

A hidden artistic treasure

The Centre Pompidou is world-famous for its iconic exhibitions and artworks, but few visitors know that it holds a real hidden treasure: more than 100,000 works carefully preserved in its reserves. While only 2,000 pieces are on public display, this immense hidden collection makes the museum one of the largest repositories of contemporary and modern art in the world.

These invisible works do not sleep, however. They are restored, loaned to other museums or even studied by researchers. This unique heritage bears witness to the incredible artistic wealth that continues to evolve within the Centre Pompidou.

Why so many hidden works?

The answer is simple: exhibition space is limited. The Centre Pompidou favors regular rotations to bring captivating temporary exhibitions to life, while preserving the most fragile or complex works. Hidden treasures include paintings, sculptures, installations, and even digital pieces, reflecting the diversity of modern and contemporary art.

The artists on display in the storage areas range from historic masters like Kandinsky and Picasso to emerging creators. Each piece, whether on display or not, plays a crucial role in the museum’s mission to preserve and promote artistic innovation.
