31/50.- Paris, Centre George Pompidou

The 'Centre National d'Art et de Culture Georges-Pompidou' opened its doors in 1977. Since then there is a controversy in Paris' artistic circles: is this a symbol of the 20th century's creativity? Or is it just a symbol of the lack of it? Although I am still not sure if I like it or not, I am sure of one thing: it is a symbol of Paris.

In the photo you can see one of the facades. The other face is more colorful. Blue, red, green and yellow plastic ducts decorate it. The 'Centre Pompidou' holds exhibition halls, libraries and the 'Musee National d'Arts Modern'.
