This week, the city of Metz, the capital of the Lorraine region, in France is on the European cultural map since it welcomes the new "Centre Pompidou".
It is expected that this new art centre will bring a "Bilbao effect" to the struggling region. The museum will also be joining a global trend towards big museum "brands" such as Le Louvre opening in Abu Dhabi and Lens, another economically devastated city of France. It will draw on more than 65,000 works held by the Musee National d'Art Moderne at the main Pompidou Centre in Paris, one of the largest collections of modern and contemporary art in Europe.
I am really not a huge fan of the architecture of this building but I should be visiting it at the beginning of June and will give you my views...
