Our second visit to this impressive building we liked even more than the first. Especially the exposition "simple figures" was a beautiful combination of ancient art (uptill 4000 years before Christ) and modern art. Really worth a visit!
Impressivs architecture. Tres joli batiment. Expositions at the time not very interesting - not worth the price. Expo pas tres interessantes, pas a la hauteur du prix.
This "small" museum located in a secondary town proposes artists and exhibitions on an international level. Its collections come from the Pompidou Center in Paris. Due to the very high ceilings you can see huge formats that you hardly can see elsewhere. (Unfortunately you lack some distance to fully appreciate). There was also an interesting interactive musical installation which open your senses. A third exhibition with an original transversal point of view on art and traditional crafts was quite interesting also. The architecture of the museum itself is spectacular and worth to see. So you come out with something more in your mind.
Centre Pompidou-Metz quickly become one of the beautiful city's best attractions! You can just enjoy the impressive building, or visit the expositions. I found the one on "paparazzis" very interesting!
Excellent idea for a relatively provincial town to host a modern and attractive facility like the Centre Pompidou. Challenging architecture from both outside and inside. The Centre is well laid out able to host in style large artifacts and its temporary expo on Simple Forms was a real intellectual and artistic pleasure. Chapeau.
I just loved France. It is only a few hours from Paris making it a great place to stay over before you fly out from Paris. This way you can relax and enjoy French flavour and still be at the airport. There is such a wide expanse of the square we strolled around the centre ate from a variety of places and loved the shopping. What a great place
The Metz branch of the Pompidou is a short walk through a tunnel next to the railway station. The building is very original, very modern and very impressive, particularly from the inside. From the third floor windows there are some great views of the city of Metz.The entrance fee varies as to the number of exhitions showing. I was annoyed that the main exhibition that I had seen widely advertised did not open for a couple of months, so the top floor was empty. On floors 1 and 2 there were two very disappointing exhibitions (I was not at all impressed with the museum curation - totally unrelated pieces thrown together).Had it not been for the ground floor, we would have left feeling very grumpy and ripped off. Fortunately there are some really great pieces by Picasso, Leger, Joan Miro, Frank Stella and Richard Delaunay - huge monumental pieces of work, which really suit the expansive spaces of this gallery.Check out the exhibition specs carefully before paying to enter the gallery - this is a superb space for the right exhibition.
We like a good art gallery but we certainly didn't find it here expensive and not a lot in there the top floor was an enormous room which was supposed to be amazing views of Metz I imagined it to be art work photos etc but the room was empty except for white walls and boards with nothing on them the views were what you could see out of the huge windows
I visited Centre Pompidou Metz with my wife just for the experience. At the ticket booth, the entrance fee to the museum was shown as >10EUR, which may have included the joiner cost to the special exhibition on that day. Anyway, since we thought the cost was expensive, we decided just to eat sandwich with ham on the ground floor, where we did not need to pay the entrance fee. Even though the café area was a bit cold, more than 5 groups were sitting and relaxed on the table. Regardless of entering the museum or not, it is recommended to come here, the trendy place in Metz.
We went to visit an exposition in this museum and did not visit the rest. We liked the architecture a lot. The museum is close to the railway station.
