  Count on spending an hour or two. I visited in January 2019 and there was no wait to get in, just about 3 minutes wait to get my bag back from the free check stand. Not a huge fan of art, particularly...  more »

  The stunning architecture is enough to awe and inspire. but then the glass encased escalator takes your breath away as you slowly rise and rise and rise above the city. Lots of interesting interactive installations. My fave, a wonderful selection of Chagall that I had not seen..... So many great exhibits..LOVE.... Yummy cafes for when you need to recharge :)

  Like the somewhat controversial "modern architecture", the building houses the largest collection of Modern Art in Europe, a public information library and a huge "Public Library" as well as a music and acoustic research centre. There are also numerous "artistic performances" held here and the restaurant is surprisingly good! In the summer there are usually many street performers located outside the Centre. The Centre is HUGE-- and is spread over 7 floors and over 1 million square feet!! One can take to external escalator to the top for some remarkable views of Paris. I hope that this Review has been helpful!
