Center Pompidou opened in Brazil in 2027: Art moves to Foz Do Iguaçu!
The Center Pompidou in Paris receives a significant branch in Brazil, a step that goes back to a recently signed agreement between France and Brazil. This offshoot will be opened in the picturesque environment of the Iguaçu waterfalls in November 2027 and represents a milestone for the cultural cooperation between the two nations. In the new Brazilian Center Pompidou, extensive programs such as exhibitions, performances, film series, festivals and lectures are planned to enrich the art scene in the region.
The initiative for the founding of this International Art Museum in Foz Do Iguaçu makes Brazil the first country in Latin America, which concludes a contract with the Center National D’Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou in Paris. The location of the new museum will include an area of 10,000 square meters; However, the exact location in the city has not yet been determined. A public architecture competition for the project will take place in the course of 2023.
future developments and international cooperation
A technical team of the Center Pompidou will work on the planning with a local team from Paraná to discuss the needs and the design of the museum area. These discussions are created for a period of ten months and are intended to create a common vision for cultural exchange. The coordinator of the international project, Marc Pottier, emphasizes the importance of this intercultural dialogue.
The Governor of Paraná emphasizes that this new museum not only promotes cultural exchange, but will also bring a significant tourist upswing for the region. The Foz do Iguaçu location is already known for its breathtaking waterfalls and tourist attractions such as the Marco Das Três Frontiras and the Parque Das Aves.
renovation and other plans in Paris
The renovation has a budget of around 260 million euros and the reopening of the Center Pompidou is planned for 2030. The museum, which was opened in 1977 and was designed by the architect Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, is known for its innovative design and its important collection of modern and contemporary art.
In 2022, the Center Pompidou was 3.2 million visitors, which includes the most visited art museums in the world. In an overview of the most popular museums, the Center Pompidou ranks in the top ten, together with facilities such as the Musée du Louvre and the Vatican Museum.
