One of the largest museums of modern art and industrial design in Europe. The building is built in the high-tech style with a combination of straight lines, an abundance of elevators, stairs, transparent walls, glass and metal bulkheads. The original solution was to take the technical elements (reinforcement joints, electrical wiring, ventilation and water supply pipes) outside, giving the building a unique appearance and freeing up significant useful areas inside. The extravagant design caused a mixed reaction from contemporaries: to some, the building looked like an oil refinery. But nowadays the Center is the third most visited landmark in Paris (after the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre). Numerous exhibitions feature paintings by Picasso, Chagall, Kandinsky, and Malevich. The entrance ticket for all expositions is 14 euros (the price is valid for September 2019). Excellent view of Paris from the observation decks of the upper floors. Free high-speed Wi-Fi. Free toilet in the lobby.
