"The hip sister of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, this modern and contemporary art museum has become one of France’s most visited cultural venues since opening in 2010. Designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, the 54,000-square-foot building features three rectangular galleries, which regularly host exhibitions of 20th- and 21st-century art from France’s illustrious Musée National d’Art Moderne. The piece de résistance can be seen outside, however—the building’s curvy, mesh roof, composed of glue-laminated timber, was inspired by a Chinese hat that Shigeru Ban found in Paris. Take it all in while dining at the museum’s Voile Blanche restaurant or outdoor brasserie, both of which are headed by Michelin-starred chef Eric Maire."

Centre Pompidou-Metz is a really cool spot in Metz with some unforgettable architecture—like the entrance that looks kinda like 😂, which made me chuckle. Inside, the art is just as interesting. My favorite was this elephant sculpture wrapped in white cloth—it was super striking. There wasn’t one main theme that grabbed me, but there was a good mix of contemporary art to check out. The staff were nice, and I liked that all the art info was in both English and French, which helps tourists a lot. I’d definitely recommend it to friends and family, especially if they’re into art. The unique building, varied exhibits, and friendly vibe make it worth a visit.

Definitely an amazing place! The architecture of the space is charming and makes the visit feel special. The artworks are interesting, modern, and very diverse. However, some of the pieces deal with sensitive topics in a very visual and direct way and I believe they should be labeled with a trigger warning. It’s not always suitable for sensitive audiences. Still, it’s a unique experience…

The Metz outpost of the famous Parisian contemporary art museum does not disappoint! The architecture is interesting and the exhibits are first class. The museum wasn't too busy either, which was rather nice. The kids very much enjoyed the museum as well, especially the temporary Maurizio Catellan exhibit. We found the staff to be friendly. Very highly recommended!

The architecture of the Centre Pompidou alone is worth the visit – bold, elegant, and full of light. I explored two unforgettable exhibitions: Maurizio Cattelan’s ironic, provocative works and Marina Abramović’s participative experience “Counting the Rise.” Although I didn’t have enough time to take part in the participatory tasks set up in Abramović’s exhibition space, I still found the concept inspiring and thought-provoking. The atmosphere invites deep reflection and engagement with the human experience. In addition, on the second floor, visitors can discover works by over 40 international contemporary artists – a diverse and fascinating collection that adds even more depth and colour to the visit. You should definitely plan to spend a few hours or more to fully appreciate everything. An inspiring blend of architecture, performance, and contemporary art – highly recommended!

This branch of the Pompidou modern art museum in Paris was opened in 2010. It is much more manageable than the main branch in Paris and the art is absolutely amazing. A 20 minute walk from the historic center of Metz. Or take the MA or MB bus using the ticket machines at most major stops. Highly recommend a 2-3 hour visit.

It's a great place in a must visit list. Exceptional experience, "creme de la creme", like French says. The retrospective of Cattelan's art is higher than stars.

The building is fantastic; wonderful exhibitions - we spent lots of time in the Caribbean post-slavery exhibition. Restaurant menu looked awesome and the food smelt compelling but they were booked out. Instead we enjoyed a quiche Loraine and bières framboises at the cafe. Now we are art tossers.

Fantastically amazing exhibits can be found at Centre Pompidou-Metz We had the good fortune to see a visiting exhibit from our hometown in Saarbrücken but it was a lovely blend of French and German art & their influences on each other There was also this excellent exhibit on Oscar Schlemmer & his fun & futuristic ballet costumes Cold as all get out inside the museum.......you'll want to keep your coat with you
