Artists / Musée National d’Art Moderne

The Musée National d’Art Moderne is the national museum for modern art of France. It is located in Paris and is housed in the Centre Pompidou in the 4th arrondissement of the city. Created in 1947, it was then housed in the Palais de Tokyo and moved to its current location in 1977.
The museum has the second largest collection of modern and contemporary art in the world, after the MOMA in New York, with more than 99000 works of art by 6300 artists. These works include painting, architecture, photography, cinema, new media, sculpture and design. A part of collection is on exhibit in a 14000 square meters space divided between two floors (4 and 5) of the Centre Pompidou, one for modern art (from 1905 to 1960, on the 5th floor) and the other for contemporary art (from 1960, on the 4th floor). The works displayed often change in order to show to the public the variety and depth of the collection.
