Before closing for renovation from 2025 to 2030, and following the success of the Surrealism exhibition, the Centre Pompidou presents a new temporary exhibition dedicated to Suzanne Valadon, a retrospective monograph on the French painter and printmaker, an exhibition on the architect Hans Hollein, and another on Paris Noir. Painting, printmaking, photography, video installations, drawing… the Centre Pompidou’s great creative anthill still has a lot to offer!

The ” Hans Hollein. transFORMS ” exhibition offers a better understanding of the coherent creative and critical approach of Austrian architect Hans Hollein (1934-2014). It highlights his most emblematic works, which mark the milestones of a body of research spanning more than half a century. Having left his mark on the avant-garde from the 1960s to the 1980s with his postmodernist style, ranging from informal to conceptual art, via radical architecture, this visionary artist, one of the most influential architects and designers of the 20th century, is studied in this exhibition that retraces his work, from the Haas Haus in Vienna to the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt.
Paris Noir, Circulations artistiques et luttes anticoloniales, 1950 – 2000 (until June 30)

“Paris Noir” traces the presence and influence of black artists in France between 1950 and 2000. The exhibition features 150 artists from Africa, the Americas and the Caribbean. The exhibition features works rarely seen before in France, from abstraction to surrealism, all symbols of cultural rebellion. Five never-before-seen installations and a lively cartography of Paris invite you to take part in the artistic dialogue and identity-building necessary to enhance this rich cultural heritage.
Énormément bizarre (until June 30)
Under the neon lights of the Centre Pompidou, there’s an exhibition that’s sure to arouse visitors’ curiosity: Énormément bizarre. Conceived by collector Jean Chatelus, it features almost 400 works of contemporary art that flirt with the strange, the unexpected and even the disturbing. From ethnographic objects to organic sculptures and apocalyptic installations, every nook and cranny invites exploration that stimulates the senses. Strong themes such as decomposition, ruin and transgressive eroticism interweave to create an atmosphere as fascinating as it is intriguing. A documentary and catalog complete this extraordinary experience, reserved for those over 18. A must-see for thrill-seekers and daring artys.
