Description
Arthur Dayras will explain how the Pompidou Center of Contemporary Art, located in its iconic building on the Beaubourg plateau designed by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, came to be the first “presidential museum”, the reasons for the renovation of the museum that will start in 2026 and continue until 2030, how the museum’s ambitious cultural program “Constellation” will enable it to operate during the five years of renovation works, and how the museum will be transformed after the works have been completed.
