Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely, Pontus Hulten
26 June 2025 – 4 January 2026
Grand Palais, 8th arrondissement, Paris
This exhibition explores the key moments in the careers of Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002) and Jean Tinguely (1925-1991). Far beyond their personal relationship, the pair shared a powerful and enduring artistic dialogue, amplified by the influence of Pontus Hulten (1924-2006), the founding director of the Musée National d’Art Moderne at the Centre Pompidou.
The exhibition offers both a historical and playful journey through Tinguely’s kinetic machines, Saint Phalle’s colorful reliefs and sculptures, rare archival footage, and exceptional documentation.

Andrea Branzi
The Reign of the Living
11 July – 2 November 2025
Musée des impressionnismes Giverny
A major figure in the history of design and architecture, Andrea Branzi (1938-2023) was deeply inspired by Claude Monet’s work—particularly the garden at Giverny, which Monet developed as an "artificial landscape" where nature, painting, and architecture coexist. This exhibition explores the relationship between design and nature through key historical works from the Centre Pompidou’s collection, as well as previously unseen pieces from the Branzi Studio archives in Milan.
In resonance, the thematic display "Collections in the Garden" presents a selection of works from the Musée de Giverny’s collection that reflect Monet’s enduring influence across the 20th century—from Bonnard to Joan Mitchell.

Kandinsky
The Music of Color
15 October 2025 – 1st February 2026
Musée de la musique, Philharmonie de Paris, 19th arrondissement
The Centre Pompidou and the Musée de la Musique – Philharmonie de Paris join forces to co-produce a major exhibition on the musical imagination in the work of Vassily Kandinsky (1866-1944).
Bringing together nearly 200 works and objects from Kandinsky’s studio (scores, records, books, tools…), the exhibition reveals how music was central to his daily life, his vocation as a painter, and his transition toward abstraction. An immersive audio experience offers insights into the subtle interplay between music, form, and color that guided his reinvention of painting. The exhibition also includes audiovisual and interactive installations that recreate Kandinsky’s synesthetic works and his ambition to synthesize the visual, sonic, and performative arts.

Arnaud Labelle-Rojoux
Voyez-vous ça !
15 novembre 2025 – 15 février 2026
MAC VAL - Musée d'art contemporain du Val-de-Marne, Vitry-sur-Seine
Figure singulière de la scène artistique française – à la fois artiste, écrivain, enseignant et performeur – Arnaud Labelle-Rojoux (né en 1950 à Paris) développe depuis les années 1980 une œuvre plastique, théorique et performative, traversée par l’humour, la culture populaire et l’histoire de l’art, portant une attention constante aux formes marginales ou non académiques.
Conçue avec l'artiste, l'exposition « Voyez-vous ça ! » joue notamment de l'accumulation, du collage, du remix des références et affinités visuelles et textuelles de Labelle-Rojoux et, en trois volets, invite au regard, à la surprise, voire au persiflage.

Dessins sans limite
Masterpieces from the Centre Pompidou’s Collection
16 December 2025 – 15 March 2026
Grand Palais, 8th arrondissement, Paris
This landmark exhibition presents over 250 major graphic works—spanning from 1900 to the present—drawn from the 35,000-piece collection of the Graphic Arts Department of the Musée National d’Art Moderne. This is the first time such a breadth of the collection will be on display.
Far from a preparatory tool, drawing has long been a field of experimentation, with artists pushing its limits across media—on paper, sketchbooks, walls, installations, even photography, film, and digital art. The exhibition explores this open, inventive practice through iconic and unexpected works.
The exhibition explores the many possibilities offered by the practice of drawing—an inherently open medium for invention and the expression of thought, whether conscious or unconscious. The journey is punctuated by highlights focusing on particularly valuable groups of works, including those by Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Giuseppe Penone, and the Duchamp brothers.

Matisse
1941 – 1954
24 March – 2 August 2026
Grand Palais, 8th arrondissement, Paris
"Matisse. 1941 – 1954" highlights the final years of the artist’s creative life.
At nearly 80 years old, Henri Matisse reinvented his practice through the medium of cut-out gouache, which emerged as an autonomous and powerful visual language. Its simplicity allowed him to reach a universal form of expression and fully embrace the decorative dimension of his art. Never before had Matisse been so prolific in his use of diverse techniques and materials—paintings, drawings, illustrated books, textiles, and stained glass all reflect this vibrant new impulse. This is demonstrated by the approximately 230 works brought together here, ranging from intimate pieces to monumental ensembles, drawn from both public and private collections.

Pom Pom Pidou
A Thrilling Tale of Modern Art
26 April – 9 November 2025
The Centre Pompidou will be taking over all areas at the Tripostal with the exhibition "Pom pom Pidou. A Thrilling Tale of Modern Art" during Fiesta, the 7th major edition of lille3000. On the fringe of the exhibition, all Centre Pompidou entities will be brought together for a live performance programme catering to a young audience.
The exhibition uses the collection and masterpieces from the Centre Pompidou as a starting point for unveiling the stunning story of modern and contemporary art on three levels of the Tripostal, the flagship in lille3000’s major cultural seasons. It demonstrates the extent to which the scope and boundaries of art were continually tested throughout the 20th century and up to the present time.
The chronological journey is punctuated by contemporary counterpoints and interdisciplinary dialogues (design, architecture, comic art).

Dimanche sans fin
Maurizio Cattelan & the Centre Pompidou collection
8 May 2025 – 2 February 2027
To mark its 15th anniversary, the Centre Pompidou-Metz is transforming all of its galleries to host hundreds of works from the Musée National d’Art Moderne collection. These include rarely seen pieces—sometimes thought untransportable—such as André Breton’s studio wall or Marcel Duchamp’s chess table.
The exhibition explores the theme of Sunday in its social, political, and aesthetic dimensions. Curated collectively under the guidance of artist Maurizio Cattelan, the exhibition unfolds as a poetic journey through 27 sections, each conceived as an alphabetical entry of thoughts, verses, slogans… touching on themes such as the division between leisure and work, private and public space, spirituality and light, or art’s power to imagine alternative worlds and evoke melancholic reflection.
Quête d’infinis
Artist Explorers of the 20th and 21st Centuries

Featured artists include: Alexander Calder, Maya Deren, Len Lye, Robert Smithson, Laurent Grasso, Kenji Yanobé, Sebastián Díaz Morales, David Renaud, Neil Beggs.

Petits Mondes
A Century of Design for Children
27 June – 2 November 2025
As part of the Design Parade Festival for Interior Architecture (June 26–29, 2025), the exhibition Petits Mondes explores the imaginative world of childhood through furniture, toys, decorative objects, and illustrated books—objects that foster creativity and personal growth. Taking advantage of the domestic scale of Toulon’s Hôtel des Arts, the thematic journey—designed by the Hall.Haus collective—examines different spaces and typologies of childhood design: bedrooms and nurseries, construction games, illustrated books, and more. It also traces the evolution of children’s furniture over the last century.
Nearly 200 works are brought together from national collections, including the Centre Pompidou, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, the Mobilier National, and the Centre National des Arts Plastiques.

Reinventing Landscape
Highlights of the Centre Pompidou collection
28 avril 2025 – 18 octobre 2026
« Reinventing Landscape » est le quatrième parcours semi-permanent du Centre Pompidou x West Bund Museum Project depuis l'ouverture du centre d'art à Shanghai en 2019.

Neuf sections thématiques permettent d'aborder aussi bien les catégories stylistiques que le point de vue de l'artiste ou le rapport à la lumière, les interventions dans la nature, ou encore la recréation d'environnements au sein même de l'espace de l'exposition.

To Open Eyes
Regards d'artistes
3 juillet 2025 – 31 janvier 2027
Le nouveau parcours semi-permanent présenté au Centre Pompidou Málaga s’intéresse à la manière dont les artistes nous invitent à décentrer notre regard, et ainsi à transformer notre rapport à l’art, à la société et au monde. « To Open Eyes » est un voyage libre proposant un panorama ouvert et non exhaustif des grands mouvements et des ruptures qui ont jalonné l’histoire de l’art des 20e et 21e siècles, jusqu’à des créations récentes reflétant certains enjeux contemporains.
Surreal on Paper
13 septembre 2025 – 11 janvier 2026
Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhague
Du 13 septembre 2025 au 11 janvier 2026, le Statens Museum for Kunst – Galerie nationale du Danemark – présente une grande exposition consacrée à l’usage du dessin par les surréalistes. Celle-ci réunit plus de 100 dessins d’artistes tels Salvador Dalí, André Masson ou Meret Oppenheim.

Brancusi, The Birth of Modern Sculpture
20 septembre 2025 – 18 janvier 2026
Originaire de Roumanie, Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957) s’est installé en 1904 à Paris après avoir traversé l’Europe, et a choisi de léguer à sa mort l’intégralité de son atelier à l’État français. L’exposition est conçue à partir de ce fonds précieux conservé par le Musée national d'art moderne, Centre Pompidou. Explorant aussi bien les différentes facettes de sa création (sculpture, film, photographie, peinture) que les grands thèmes développés par l’artiste (muse endormie, tête d’enfants, animaux, torse, baiser…), elle met en avant la puissance d’invention et la quête inlassable de beauté de cet artiste majeur du 20e siècle considéré comme le père de la sculpture moderne.

Fluxus by Chance
25 septembre 2025 – 22 février 2026
Une exploration audacieuse et dynamique de l'un des mouvements artistiques les plus révolutionnaires du 20e siècle, avec des œuvres provenant exclusivement de la collection du Centre Pompidou.
Fluxus naît au tournant des années 1950 et 1960 du rapprochement d’artistes qui n’en sont pas, mais le deviennent par émulation (George Brecht, Robert Filliou, La Monte Young, George Maciunas…) Aventure collective, cosmopolite et participative, Fluxus prône un art sans œuvre et sans virtuosité, contre la survalorisation persistante de l’objet d’art autographe, qui tend à éliminer frontière et hiérarchie entre public et artiste.
