Founded in 1977, the Centre Pompidou is a major multidisciplinary cultural institution, home to Europe's leading collection of modern and contemporary art. Its mission combines artistic creation, knowledge-sharing and engagement with contemporary social issues. Currently closed for major renovation until 2030, the Centre is continuing its activities through « Constellation », an ambitious programme bringing its collection and multidisciplinary programming to partner venues in France and internationally. This period of transformation is also an opportunity to develop new partnerships, rethink how the institution shares its expertise and explore new approaches to sustainable revenue generation.
