Fodor's Review:
Although the city's modern art museum hasn't generated a buzz comparable to that of the Centre Georges Pompidou, it can be a more pleasant museum-going experience. Like the Pompidou, the Musée d'Art Moderne shows temporary exhibits of painting, sculpture, and installation and video art, plus it has a permanent collection of top-tier 20th-century works from around the world -- but it happily escapes the Pompidou's overcrowding. The building reopened in February 2006 and its vast, white-wall galleries are an ideal backdrop for the bold statements of 20th-century art. The museum takes over, chronologically speaking, where the Musée d'Orsay leaves off; among the earliest works are Fauvist paintings by Maurice Vlaminck and André Derain, followed by Pablo Picasso's early experiments in Cubism. Other highlights include works by Robert and Sonia Delaunay, Chagall, Matisse, Rothko, and Amedeo Modigliani.
- Cost: Permanent collection free, temporary exhibitions EUR 7
- Open: Tues.-Fri. 10-5:30, weekends 10-6:45
