Great exhibitions of modern and contemporary artists. The permanent art collection is less interesting. Make sure to visit the Palais de Tokyo nearby with its edgy exhibitions and cool shops and cafes

Very simple museum with some breathtaking pieces on display (see the Matisses in their permanent exhibition). Saw Marquet and it was really well done.

Even the permanent exhibition was interesting enough, visitors circulation is designed to give a general understanding of modern movements in painting and a bit of decorative arts. Highly suggested!!

Very nice exhibitions and the museum is open pretty late. Come here for something more fruitful and off the beaten path than Pompidou

Très grand musée d'art moderne et GRATUIT pour les collections permanentes qui sont de qualité. N'hésitez pas à aller dans la grande salle à 180 degrés.
