Centre Pompidou is inaugurating its new conservation, exhibition, and creation hub in Massy: Centre Pompidou Francilien – fabrique de l’art. Covering 30,000 m², it brings together in one cohesive location the new storage facilities for Centre Pompidou's 150,000-work collection, as well as exhibition, event, and education spaces.
Before its official opening in spring 2027, Centre Pompidou Francilien will welcome the public for the first time in October 2026 during three introductory “Prélude!” weekends, which will be free upon reservation. These weekends, animated by live programming and works from the collection, offer an opportunity to discover the site, its architecture, and its surroundings, as well as the still‑empty conservation spaces. In the following months, the works will gradually leave their current storage facilities to find their new home at Centre Pompidou Francilien.
Supported by the French Ministry of Culture, the Île‑de‑France Region, the Essonne Department, the Paris‑Saclay Urban Community, and the City of Massy, Centre Pompidou Francilien – fabrique de l’art embodies a new vision of the museum, rooted in its local environment and full of life.
