Pompidou Centre

Pompidou Centre
   Centre Georges Pompidou
   Also known popularly as "Beaubourg". Located on Place Beaubourg, in the Marais district of Central Paris, the Centre Pompidou is one of the most visited museums in Paris, thanks to its collection of modern and contemporary European art, and its large public reference library with facilities for over 2,000 readers, its theatres and its lecture rooms. The glass steel and concrete building, designed by the Richard Rogers partnership, and opened in 1977, is one of the most remarkable examples of 1970's architecture. It is distinguished by having most of its service infrastucture (lifts, escalators, utility ducts) on the outside of the building.
   In May 2010, a satellite of the Pompidou Centre opened in the city of Metz, in Lorraine. This brand-new museum will show a selection of works from the Paris collection, including some of the finest, and also stage its own exhibitions.
