Centre Georges Pompidou
A most controversial building when first unveiled, it appears "in-side out", the metal and glass parallel -piped structure, whose air ducts, heating shafts, and stairwells are al on the outside of the building - to gain more space inside, has become a real eye-catcher and sees almost as many visitors now as does th Lourve. The Pompidou Center is home to the National Museum of Modern Art, which includes a masterful and diverse collection of works from many modern schools. Many temporary exhibits also visit the museum, which also houses a large public library, a restaurant, and an internet café. For more information on the  Georges Pompidou Centre please click here
