The building itself is very special and rather chaotic on the inside. Temporary exhibits and restaurant are at the top floor where there is a great view of the city.
We had an especially great view as there were some thunderstorms hanging over parts of Paris ;-)
The permanent collection and the temporary exhibits are open late every day so it's perfect to visit the Centre after all the other museums have closed. There is also a library and a movie-theatre here so fun for every-one!
See their site: http://www.centrepompidou.fr/
We visited the Louise Bourgeois exhibit (it ended june the 2nd), the "Traces du Sacré"-exhibit (still running un till august 11th!) and the permanent collection.
I am a great fan of Louise Bourgeois because I really love her images. And the fact that she is still making art a the age of 97 makes her a role model for all of us!
"Traces du Sacré" is a brilliant exhibit about the "spiritual" in art. In the exhibit there is art about the divine, the apocalypse, paganism, sexualism, futurism, nostalgia, the absolute and much much more.
I can guarantee that you will leave this exhibit a changed person (especially if you've gone through "the Doors of Perception")!
The permanent collection is always interesting to watch as the are some great works in it by all the well-known 20th century artists. They've recently re-arranged all the rooms so it was even new for us now even-though we've already seen the permanent collection several times.
