Inside Out.

The Centre Gorges Pompidou has to be one of my favourite buildings and art galleries, worldwide. Not only is the design ingenious and revolutionary but the art that lies inside is just as dramatic and inspiring as its exterior. Positioned in the heart of the Marais, the true soul quarter of Paris, the museum designed by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, was the brainchild of President Georges Pompidou who wanted to create a space focused on modern and contemporary creation. 


The design is not only kooky but practical, as the reasoning behind its inside out exterior was to free up the internal space to allow for the artworks to resonate and thus be truly appreciated without any internal distractions.
