In 2025, the centre Georges Pompidou will close its doors to the public for 5 years. But to enjoy the iconic cultural venue one last time before the major renovations, we’re looking forward to seeing the “Surrealism” exhibition from September 4. The institution’s last highlight before closing, this exhibition promises to be remarkable in every way.
The Centre Pompidou’s last exhibition will be dedicated to Surrealism
Last year, the Centre Pompidou announced its closure for five long years, starting in 2025. A welcome facelift, including extensive asbestos removal and modernization work. As a result, from next year onwards, the museum’s 140,000-odd works will be moved to numerous cultural venues throughout France and abroad. So, to say goodbye to Beaubourg before the building work, you can plan to come for its last major exhibition dedicated to Surrealism.
If 2024 signifies the end of an era for the museum, it will also mark the 100th anniversary of André Breton’s Manifesto of Surrealism, a veritable pillar text of the movement. To mark the occasion, the Centre Pompidou will be chronologically retracing the latter in a colorful retrospective. Alongside André Breton, there will be tributes to Giorgio de Chirico, Joan Miró, René Magritte and of course Salvador Dalí, to name but a few. Around 14 facets of the Surrealist movement, you’ll be treated to a highly interesting and dreamlike journey.
A great way to mark the occasion before the curtain closes!
