And it\u2019s not just the valuable collection that fascinates visitors, but the building itself as well. Located in the center of Paris on the banks of the river Seine, the museum is hosted in the building that was once the Orsay railway station. Founded for the Universal Exhibition in 1900, the palatial train station now displays art collections from 1848 to 1914 that feature paintings, sculptures, photography, decorative arts, and architecture. The museum includes famous impressionist works by Gustav Klimt, Van Gogh, Renoir, Degas, Manet, Camille Claudel, Millet, Camille Pissarro, Edvard Munch, and Paul C\u00e9zanne. The most spectacular pieces are located on the top floor, so a great way to explore this beautiful museum is to start at the top and work your way down.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The museum is open daily from 9:30 am to 6 pm daily, except Mondays.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

This iconic landmark caused a stir in the 1970s with its unusual design that breaks the line of classical architecture in Paris. Made to look like an oil refinery, the fa\u00e7ade of the building features exposed pipes and air ducts in strong primary colors against a steel and glass frame.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pompidou complex was a revolutionary concept when it first opened in 1977. Combining a modern art museum, library, cinema, exhibition, and performance space, Centre Pompidou paved the way for many art institutions around the world to create inclusive and diverse public spaces. Discover Centre Pompidou&#8217;s modern art collection with famous works by Matisse, Chagall, Mondrian, Br\u00e2ncu\u0219i, L\u00e9ger, Raysse, Dubuffet, Veilhan, Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, Frida Kahlo and many more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When checking the opening hours, take note that the building itself, the museum, the library, and the cinema have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centrepompidou.fr\/en\/program\/calendar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">different opening hours<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

space. This building with a fascinating story attracts as many as 4000 visitors a week coming to experience concerts, exhibitions, and artists&#8217; workshops. The space has a powerful pull, presenting visitors with an alternative approach to art and culture. Its philosophy is to create democratic access to art and culture for both artists and the public. The entrance is free and the atmosphere is always lively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is how 59 Rivoli came to be: in 1999, a beautiful abandoned building <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/8sSAR5UiShcMwJkv7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in the center of Paris<\/a> was reclaimed by a group of artists who transformed it into an artist\u2019s squat. The added cultural value brought by the artist&#8217;s presence was recognized by the city of Paris in 2006. The building was purchased by the city and renovated to current safety standards, leaving the artist&#8217;s workshops and exhibition space intact. Today, 59 Rivoli houses studios for 30 artists and is well-known for its parties, exhibitions, and performances.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>59 Rivoli is open Tuesdays to Sundays, from 1 pm to 8 pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paris has been home to many world-renowned artists and the birthplace of countless artistic movements throughout history.
