Contemporary Art in Paris/ Ile-de-France

On the cutting edge of all cultures, Paris Ile-de-France invites visitors to explore its contemporary art treasures. From the most avant-garde venues to more intimate museums and other sites, you will enjoy the diversity and originality of Paris' artistic life.

The Georges Pompidou Centre – Paris' architectural gateway to modernity – hosts nearly 30 temporary exhibitions every year in addition to a permanent collection that boasts a wide variety of contemporary works.

This same innovative spirit is reflected in the alternative pieces on display at the Palais de Tokyo and the sophisticated Fondation Cartier. For those seeking quieter revelations, the Maison Robert Doisneau in Gentilly, birthplace of the famous photographer, displays various facets of modern photography.

The Plateau, in the 19th arrondissement, houses the Regional Contemporary Art Collection (FRAC) of Ile-de-France. Be bold, and let the latest in modern art guide your exploration of the Paris region.
