School groups

The educational action of the Centre Pompidou fosters encounters between school-goers and art & creation. It invites all pupils to build a rich and coherent personal culture throughout their school years. 

In keeping with its open spirit and aim to make culture and creation accessible to as many people as possible, all the Centre Pompidou’s tours and workshops catering to schools are free of charge.
