Step by Step
These tickets for the Pompidou Centre in Paris are the perfect option to add an original touch to your visit to the city. It is one of the most revolutionary works of recent times, as even the building itself is a work of art.
You will begin your visit by observing its façade, which seems to have been built completely upside down. In this case, the ventilation ducts and cables, which should remain hidden in its structure, are in plain view for all to see. It is surprising, because it is located in the centre of the capital and breaks with everything around it.
Once inside, the largest collection of modern and contemporary art in Europe awaits you. During your visit, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the works of 20th century masters:
- Buste de femme, by Picasso
- À une voix, by Kandinsky
- Arrangement de formes, by Man Ray
- La Blouse roumaine, by Matisse
- Etude du corps humain, by Francis Bacon
We recommend starting your visit on the upper floor. The works are arranged in chronological order, making it easier for you to follow the tour in an orderly fashion. From the top floor, you will go through Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Dadaism and Surrealism.
It is very interesting to appreciate the changes that artistic trends have undergone over the years. In fact, this change will become much more palpable when you reach 1960, when what is known as contemporary art began. This is the time to visit the work of the incomparable Andy Warhol and other visionaries such as Dan Flavin, Richard Hamilton and Louise Bourgeois.
Of course, the Pompidou Centre has also set aside one of its spaces for a public library, as well as a research centre for acoustics and music. You can't miss the opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking views of Paris from the rooftop of the building either.
