A pioneering cultural complex and National Museum of Modern Art in the Beaubourg district, opened in 1977 to an innovative design by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers. The building famously turns architecture inside out, placing color-coded mechanical pipes, air ducts, and a transparent caterpillar escalator on its external facade. Inside, it houses Europe's largest modern art collection alongside top-floor panoramic city views.
Highlights
- High-tech inside-out architecture with color-coded utility pipes
- Scenic glass escalator tube running diagonally across the exterior
- Europe's largest collection of 20th- and 21st-century modern art
