The Pompidou museum, a significant modern art venue in Paris, plans to close most galleries to remove around 2,000 permanent artworks, initiating a five-year renovation process that includes asbestos removal. Temporary exhibitions will remain open until September, featuring events like DJ performances. The museum is one of the city's most visited cultural landmarks, and its renovation, expected to cost €262 million, underscores the need for regular maintenance and restoration of Paris's attractions, which have recently come under scrutiny for various infrastructural issues.
This colossal operation has taken months, even years, to prepare, with specialists set to remove the roughly 2,000 items on permanent display, marking a major transition for the museum.
The museum will close its gates entirely for five years for extensive renovations, including asbestos removal, signaling a significant investment in the future of one of Paris's cultural icons.
