How
are you?
The
10th place I would like to introduce for this week is The Centre Georges
Pompidou in Paris, France.
The Centre Georges Pompidou is a cultural complex in the Beaubourg area of the 4th arrondissement of Paris, near Les Halles, rue Montorgueil, and the Marais. The building was designed in the style of high-tech architecture by the architectural team of Richard Rogers, Su Rogers, Renzo Piano, along with Gianfranco Franchini.
The center has the “Bibliothèque publique d'information”, a vast public library, the “Musée National d'Art Moderne”, the largest museum of modern art in Europe, and “IRCAM (Institut de recherche et coordination acoustique/musique)”, a music and acoustic research center. Because of its location, the center is locally known as “Beaubourg”.
The center is named after Georges Pompidou, the President
of France from 1969 to 1974, who commissioned the establishment of the
building, and was officially opened on January 31, 1977 by then President
Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. Since opening in 1977, more than 180 million
visitors, including museum visitors, have visited the center.
The
works of Modigliani (excluding drawings) currently in the possession of The
Centre Georges Pompidou are as follows.
Thank
you.
