This might be the nicest modern art museum I’ve been to. If you go to the top and look out, you get an excellent view of Paris too.

Remember being fascinated by daydreamer

by the huge “pipes” on the outside of the building. It was one of the strangest buildings I had seen back then – still looking good!

I got there when i was 15 with my group because we were goin to visit Museum d’Orsay but it was closed. I do think it was totally worth it….ART IS EVERYTHING! Loved it….the images….the paintings….the sculptures and the crazy videos….

It's funny... by T

…how this building grows on you! I hated it the first time I saw it, but by the time I left Paris I couldn’t get enough of it. The museum is free on the first Sunday of the month and, unlike the Louvre and Orsay, surprisingly uncrowded. Some of the art I loved and some of it I just did not get (6 months later I still can’t figure out what that Samuel Beckett exhibit was about). I didn’t actually find my guidebook or the museum programmes very helpful, as the collection is so big that they rotate it quite often. So if you have a favourite painting that you want to see, don’t actually count on it being there! The escalators up to the museum are on the outside of the building so you get a great view of Paris on your way up.

I also recommend the Stravinksky fountain outside the centre, there are some nice cafes along it and it’s fun to sit and watch people getting splashed. :)
