Beaubourg
[bobur]nom propre
name commonly used to refer to the Pompidou Centre
| BEAUBOURG |
| This term officially refers to the area surrounding the Pompidou Centre but it has come to mean the museum itself. The very unusual design of the Centre national d'art et de culture Georges Pompidou was the subject of much controversy when it was built in 1977, but today it is the second most visited building in France. It houses a modern art gallery, a cinema, an open-stack library and other cultural exhibits. |
