What to expect from Centre Pompidou’s vast new conservation-focused site in the Parisian suburbs
Centre Pompidou Francilien – fabrique de l'art is hosting preview weekends this month ahead of its spring 2027 opening
The Centre Pompidou has unveiled a new 30,000 square meter conservation-focused site in a Parisian suburb named Centre Pompidou Francilien, located in Massy. The facility, designed by Philippe Chiambaretta and PCA-STREAM, will house 645 trucks transporting the museum's extensive collection of 150,000 Modern and contemporary works of art from eight rented spaces to the new site over the next two years.
The site will also serve as a center for the dispersal of around 6,000 works loaned annually by the Centre Pompidou. The building, mainly composed of storage space (13,000 square meters) and conservation/restoration ateliers (4,000 square meters), offers 2,200 square meters of exhibition space for visitors. Centre Pompidou Francilien will be a revolutionary hub for the museum's expertise, with all teams working on restoration, framing, and conservation located in the same place.
The institution aims to collaborate with Paris-Saclay university on climate issues related to restoration and develop dialogues between artists and scientists.
