The Centre Pompidou continues to expand and cross borders. The Paris museum is now setting up in South Korea thanks to its Constellation programme, which allows it to lend works both in France and around the world.
The museum’s iconic building in Paris’s Beaubourg district, designed under the direction of Renzo Piano, has had to close for major renovation work until 2030.
With the museum closed and the artworks on the move, management has launched an ambitious programme of external loans.
On 4 June a Korean branch will open in Yeouido, the main financial district of Seoul. It will be the second Asian site, after the one opened in Shanghai.
