It's exciting to be around so much creativity and spark. The building itself is a draw, and you can enjoy the nearby fountain filled with moving statues and take the famous elevator all the way to the top for free--the view is the best, and I prefer it more than the view from the Eiffel Tower! There is also a notable bookstore filled with art folios and a wall of postcards, accessible without tickets. If you enter the paid floors, expect to be wowed for at least 2-3 hours.

Thought not…read morecompletely shut down (Wolfgang Tillmans was showing his photographs), the lack of exhibits make this arts center a shell of its former self; even the long escalator, a prominent feature, wasn't in operation. Also, there was no access to the rooftop viewing platform. The building is very cool with its "inside out" design as giant pipes decorate the exterior. I remember Centre Pompidou as full of life, I hope when it returns to be able to experience its full art programming once again. Two stars because it's depressing to see the building half done & half alive.

There was a double feature when I went of Picasso and Rousseau. I was in awe the entire time. The Picasso show was about 40 mins and the Rousseau was 20 minutes.

I can't remember how I found out about this "exhibit"…read more When I originally saw the ad it was about Klimt being the main show. That would have been so cool. It ended the week before my arrival. But it was still a great show. Purchase your ticket online and pick a date and time. Originally thought the exhibit was in an old warehouse, but it's the main floor of a residential building. Two stories of open space. The images are projected on the floor and all the walls choreographed to music. The first was Van Gogh's Starry Night with other of his works mixed. Japanese Images of a Floating World was next installation. The works have movement and floats through the vast space. There are no seats. Be careful walking around, as people just sit in the middle of the floor to watch. You can hang out and watch it a second time. Highly recommend seeing this.

My Mom and I were supposed to go for my birthday on our last visit and had a long lunch that caused us to skip our tickets that day. I'm thankful I had no idea then what I was missing. Bestie and I returned and needed to book the French tour since English tours are limited. This has got to be one of the most special experiences. I've been a lover of carousels for as long as I can remember and this musee might as well be called La rêve because every moment of it truly felt like one. I love moments filled with synchronicities, something makes life fill in alignment when this occurs over and over and our little spring break trip and visit here held so many special moments to me. Wrapping the most incredible tour pedaling a bike on the velocipede carousel manufactured in 1897 absolutely took the cake! All of my life's favorites things were in the most beautiful collision here. I can't wait to visit again! Perfect date spot, complete with dancing.

You can then find a section made of personal items donated by individuals to the museums: family photographs, objects of devotion, musical instruments, old postcards. I found it a very interesting insight on the 'plural voices of migration', as the museum puts it, and liked the fact that this section is varied chronologically and geographically. The centerpiece is the exhibit on migrations which develop thematically rather than chronologically/geographically. Some topics I remember: sport as a means of integration, music as a means of integration (with a nice jukebox of French songs written by / about migrants), lodging issues connected to immigration, food and immigration. It's a small museum and I personally spent about 2hrs inside. Tip: if you visit on Sundays (but apparently also on Thursdays) you can enjoy the local market (Marché de la Porte Dorée) and have a snack there. Just across the museum is the nice Bois de Vincennes. While I visited, the Palazzo Café just outside the museum (not the museum coffee shop, which is inside the Palais) offered snacks and drinks on a very nice patio. The only reason why I did not give a 5 stars rating: only some of the explanations are translated (into English, some are translated also into German and/or Spanish), therefore visitors who do not read French might only partially enjoy the exhibits.

I wanted to check it out for both the preserved architecture and the immense number of city artifacts spanning 450 years. The permanent collection is free to the public. Short term exhibits are ticketed. At your own leisure you can stroll room after room. Some are furnished with their original decorations, , others have been recreated with furnishings of a certain period. Rooms from historic residences in Paris from the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries are in the museum. It made a nice introduction to the history of the city as I wandered Paris for the next 5 days. It was a bit confusing in some areas to follow the arrows through rooms that had so many nooks to explore. Allow easily 2-3 hours to start your exploration.

I feel like at the beginning of time, It was a very well laid out museum but they got more and more items for display that they have no place to put it. They end up putting a lot of things in the center of the museum leaving only two narrow isle for walking. The middle section is blocked off and can be seen only far away. This museum has two floors. The second floor is just as interesting as the first. The second floor is less of a dumping ground. Even the things they have in the cabinet or behind the glass are fascinating. There is so much things to see inside this museum that you do need minimum 2 hours. I feel like there is so much to see that I don't know what am I suppose to look at first. The most interesting item on display here is the whale skeleton. It is so big that there is no way you will miss it.

Wow! I've been to a few museums in my travels and this one ranks as on of the best designed and overall coolest I've seen. Although it was built in 1889, the interior is extremely modern. For me, part of the museum experience is not just the content of the museum but the architecture and design. The open concept inside is very dramatic. Speakers and lighting have been set up to simulate thunderstorms which cycle through every now and then. Oh, I think there's some natural history stuff here too.
