The Museum's collections

Since the 30th anniversary of the Pompidou Centre in 2007, the new presentation of the historical collection from the National Museum of Modern Art enables the major monographic collections, which lend it its wealth and uniqueness, to be celebrated.

The founding donations of the collection, from artists or their families, have become considerably enriched during the last thirty years. At the same time, the museum has opened itself up to other creative fields, always driven by the desire to form coherent ensembles: on the occasion of 'elles@centrepompidou' for example, the works of female artists were exhibited over successive thematic rooms indicated by a red coloured doorway; Dora Maar, Gisèle Freund, Laure-Albert Guillot, Lisette Model or Diane Arbus for photography, Eileen Gray, Charlotte Perriand or Janette Laverrière for architecture and design.
