A museum in international expansion

When art crosses borders

The Centre Pompidou , since its inauguration in 1977, has been much more than a museum: it is a symbol of artistic avant-garde and architectural innovation. Building on its success in Paris, it has embarked on a true international expansion , exporting its unique concept throughout the world. This global influence is a testament to the power of contemporary art to connect cultures and inspire beyond borders.

With satellite sites already established, such as in Metz (Centre Pompidou-Metz) or in Shanghai (Centre Pompidou × West Bund Museum Project) , and other projects in progress, the Centre Pompidou continues to share its vision of art and culture with a global audience.

Unique cultural antennas

Each extension of the Centre Pompidou adapts to its environment while remaining faithful to its mission of artistic accessibility and innovation. Among the flagship projects, we find:

• The Centre Pompidou-Metz : Inaugurated in 2010, this museum quickly attracted millions of visitors thanks to its remarkable architecture and major exhibitions.
• The Shanghai Partnership : A cultural collaboration with the West Bund Museum, inaugurated in 2019, which offers a unique perspective on contemporary European and Asian art.
• Other projects in preparation : Notably in Brussels and South Korea, which will strengthen the international presence of this iconic institution.

These expansions are not simple replicas: they offer collections, exhibitions and programs specially designed for each local context, while remaining faithful to the spirit of the Centre Pompidou .

Contemporary art: a universal language

This global expansion reflects an essential conviction: contemporary art is a universal language that transcends cultural and geographical barriers. The Centre Pompidou, through its international projects, proves that art can bring people together and enrich dialogue between cultures.

At Paris Créations Virtuelles , we share this same vision. Our online art gallery acts as a virtual extension of this philosophy, allowing art lovers from all over the world to discover unique and inspiring contemporary works, no matter their location.
