The Centre Pompidou lit up one last time before closing its doors ✨
Artist Cai Guo-Qiang offered a spectacular farewell to the Centre Pompidou with an exceptional performance: a daytime fireworks display that illuminated its façade just before the start of major renovations.
Titled "The Last Carnival", this immense pyrotechnic fresco—created with his personal AI model, cAI™—celebrated the past, present, and future of the Centre Pompidou. A poetic and explosive goodbye before five years of closure.
🪩 The Centre Pompidou has now closed its doors, but we’ll see you one last time on October 24 and 25 for Because Beaubourg! The evening events are sold out, but you can still enjoy the free daytime program from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.: bit.ly/CP-BecauseBeaubourg
