Chanel is providing a new significant partnership with Centre Pompidou, including a five-year commitment that strengthens work across access, scholarship, and preservation of public knowledge. The financial amount is confidential. Centre Pompidou, opened in 1977, is closed until 2030 for a major overhaul expected to cost at least €460 million. Chanel and Centre Pompidou have collaborated before, including the 2023 Assemble programme focused on collaborative explorations by architects, designers, artists, and scientists. Chanel also announced a four-year partnership in 2025 to increase the museum’s permanent collection of Chinese contemporary artists by over 30% by 2028 through a dedicated acquisition fund. Acquisitions include works by Chen Wei and Cui Jie.
"“The five-year commitment [from Chanel] will strengthen Centre Pompidou's work across access, scholarship, and the preservation of public knowledge, contributing to its long-term stewardship of cultural memory,” says a Chanel statement. The amount given is confidential, a spokesperson adds."
"“The digital revolution, global warming and the question of democracy are all at the heart of the forum which is the lifeblood of the Centre Pompidou. Coming together to reflect on the best way to rethink a cultural utopia is obviously at the centre of our partnership with the Chanel Culture Fund,” said Laurent Le Bon, Centre Pompidou president, in an online video linked to theAssemble project."
"Meanwhile in 2025, Chanel announced a four-year partnership with the Centre Pompidou to increase the museum's permanent collection of Chinese contemporary artists by over 30% by 2028 through a dedicated acquisition fund. Works have since been acquired by artists such as Chen Wei and Cui Jie, according to Ocula."
"Yana Peel, the president of arts, culture and heritage at Chanel, says in a statement: “Building on years of collaboration, from funding acquisitions to programmes spanning disciplines, we honour an institution [Centre Pompidou] that continuously expands how culture is produced, studied, and shared.”"
