Architect Renzo Piano designed the famous ‘inside out’ museum, featuring air vents and colorful pipes on the exterior and transparent glass walls. When it was first built in 1977, the exterior of the building was considered controversial.
Decades later, Centre Pompidou's exterior is considered a pioneer in design and architecture. Additionally, visitors can get beautiful views from the top of the museum of the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, and Sacré-Coeur Basilica.
