Centre Pompidou-Metz

Designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban and French architect Jean de Gastines, with a curved roof resembling a space-age Chinese hat, the architecturally innovative Centre Pompidou-Metz is the star of Metz' art scene. The satellite branch of Paris’ Centre Pompidou draws on Europe’s largest modern-art collection to stage ambitious temporary exhibitions, including figurative cubist creations, bold avant-garde works and stunning sculptures. The dynamic space also hosts cultural events, talks and youth projects.
