Paris’s Centre Pompidou is Bidding Farewell With a Massive 2 Day Party this Month!

Paris is about to bid farewell to one of its most iconic art spaces. The Centre Pompidou, with its unmistakable inside-out architecture, has been the beating heart of contemporary art in the French capital since the late 1970s. After nearly five decades and hundreds of millions of visitors, the building needs a serious makeover – and will shut down for five years of renovations starting this autumn.

Paris is about to bid farewell to one of its most iconic art spaces. The Centre Pompidou, with its unmistakable inside-out architecture, has been the beating heart of contemporary art in the French capital since the late 1970s. After nearly five decades and hundreds of millions of visitors, the building needs a serious makeover – and will shut down for five years of renovations starting this autumn.

Since all artworks will already be packed away, organisers are free to transform the space completely: one floor will host a roller disco, another a cinema, plus there’ll be theatrical shows, immersive installations, and even a play zone for kids. From 11am to 6pm, entry is totally free.

At night, however, the Pompidou turns into an eight-storey mega-club, running until 5am. DJs will be spinning on every level, with tickets (€40) offering a once-in-a-lifetime chance to dance until dawn inside one of Paris’s most legendary cultural landmarks.

Daytime events start at 11am on both days, with the night programme kicking off Friday at 7pm and Saturday at 8pm. Tickets are available now via the Centre Pompidou’s website.
