Paris centre pompidou to close for three years for renovations past the 2024 summer olympics

The Centre Pompidou, the famous Parisian museum of contemporary art, is closing its doors for five years of work. The project would represent a total budget of 200 million euros. Initially

scheduled for 2023, then delayed to the fall of 2024, after the Paris Olympics, this closure is finally expected to take place by the end of 2025. The CENTRE POMPIDOU is one of the

capital's top spots. In the heart of the BEAUBOURG DISTRICT, this giant with tangled colored pipes has been attracting art lovers since 1977. Today, it represents the FIRST COLLECTION

OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART IN EUROPE, and regularly surprises Parisians of a day and of all times with exhibitions with surprising angles and hot retrospectives . However, for a few

years, Parisians will be deprived of this emblematic museum and its rich collections. At the beginning of 2021, we learned that the famous museum would close its doors for THREE YEARS OF

WORK. Then Minister of Culture, ROSELYNE BACHELOT had announced this project TO OUR COLLEAGUES OF THE FIGARO. Initially, it was announced that the CENTRE POMPIDOU would be closed in late

2023, to open in early 2027. Then, on Thursday, October 21, 2021, the new president of the museum LAURENT LE BON had decided that the work of the center of contemporary art would begin later

than planned. The Centre Pompidou was then to close its doors only from theFALL OF 2024, after the PARIS OLYMPICS, so that visitors from around the world attracted by this sporting event

can also enjoy the cultural highlights of the capital. Finally, the Pompidou Center should close its doors by the end of 2025 according to an announcement of the Minister of Culture Rima

Abdul Malak relayed by the AFP. Finally, the Parisians will be able to find this famous museum in 2030 according to this new agenda. During these few years, the CENTRE POMPIDOU WILL BE

ENTIRELY CLOSED. Why this choice? Because this way, the project estimated at 200 MILLION EUROS would be both less expensive and less time consuming. If the work had been carried out with the

museum partially open, the total cost of the operation would have been 226 million euros. This renovation will allow on the one hand to modernize this cultural colossus and on the other

hand to carry out a complete asbestos removal of the building. We should then discover a new hanging aiming at offering us a "multidisciplinary perspective" as well as new spaces

for young people. The library should also be expanded. So take advantage of the limited time we have left to admire the exhibitions presented at the Centre Pompidou and to survey again and

again this temple ofCONTEMPORARY ART IN PARIS.
