Art Trip in Paris (3)- Centre Pompidou

Get a little bit tired after all the classic paintings/artworks? Visit the French National Museum of Modern Art  inside the  Centre Pompidou for a refreshing.

The building “Centre Pompidou” is absolutely a chin drop at the first sight: rough industry look with bond colorful tubs in red, yellow, blue surrounding its surface which made it not only standing against all other architectures in Paris but also a impossible-missing-spot even from as far as the top of white-domed Basilica of the Sacre Coeur. Besides the museum, Centre Pompidou houses a public library and a music research center as well.

With nearly 60,000 works of art, the French National Museum of Modern Art has the largest collection of modern/contemporary art in Europe and the 2nd largest in the world, after the MOMA in New York. This time we visited  the special exhibition there   called “Elles@centrepompidou” which was mentioned in my previous blog entry. Below are some pictures took on site:
