On the move
Two essential principles drive the Centre Pompidou-Metz: The exhibitions in the museum should never be fixed: they will be regularly transformed so as to provide successive interpretations of the art following a chronological or thematic logic. The distinction between permanent and temporary exhibitions will be abolished. Long-term hangings (renewed at least every two years) and temporary exhibitions will be displayed alongside one another and reinforce one another. Someone who visits the Centre Pompidou-Metz every two years will never see the same works twice. |

Flexible
The architecture has been designed in accordance with centre’s aims and the new demands of contemporary art: flexible space that can be adjusted as required to best suit the works of art, with the necessary equipment to accommodate disciplines such as multimedia, performance art and dance.
The diversity of the exhibition spaces, alternating between clear, wide-open spaces and more intimate rooms, and the vast volume of the main nave will help to create original interpretations of modern and contemporary art.
