  • The Center Pompidou will close its doors at the end of 2023 to reopen at the beginning of 2027.

  • But this year, other museums are opening in the capital after several years of work.

  • If the Grand Palais is going to close him, the Grand Palais Ephémère must do the job.

The announcement had its small effect.

In an interview with

Le Figaro

, the Minister of Culture Roselyne Bachelot said that the Pompidou center would close its doors for a major facelift.

“There were two options on the table, one being to restore the Center while keeping it open, the other being full closure.

I chose the second because it turned out to be shorter in time and a little cheaper, ”she said.

One of the most important modern and contemporary art museums in the world and one of the most original architectural places in Paris, will therefore close at the end of 2023 to reopen in early 2027 for its 50th anniversary.

On the program: asbestos removal and renovation to meet safety standards, technical standards, fire protection, energy savings, as well as accessibility for people with disabilities.

But what about other museums in the capital?

This is the case of the Carnavalet museum (3rd arrondissement).

After four years of work, the museum dedicated to the history of Paris and its inhabitants, which keeps collections illustrating the city's evolution from prehistoric times to the present day, is due to reopen in the spring.

“The renovation work on the buildings carried out by the City of Paris has been completed.

We are now in a very active installation phase of the works which have all been restored during the four years of closure, ”explains Valérie Guillaume to

Le Figaro

.

And to specify: “Thanks to these novelties, the museum opened, one hundred and fifty years ago, will be an essential place for Parisians, Parisians, and all lovers of the capital extremely attached to Carnavalet.

In a short time, the Grand Palais will also close its doors to begin its transformation.

In 2024, the Nave of the Grand Palais will host the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The entire monument will be open to the public in spring 2025. The work will restore the windows, roofs, decorations and sculptures, and will restore the building to its original architecture while thoroughly modernizing it, announces the monument site.
