The Centre Pompidou housing more than 140,000 works of modern and contemporary art will shut its doors for a major refurbishment from 2025 to 2030. The gradual closure of the museum will take place in the autumn of 2024. The renovation includes reorganizing exhibition spaces, removing asbestos and optimizing energy efficiency for the whole building, as well as improving accessibility for people with reduced mobility.
