Until 2025, Centre Pompidou is collaborating with the West Bund Group to establish the most significant artistic exchange between France and China to date. The exterior of the building, designed by David Chipperfield, is nothing compared to its Parisian original, but the galleries will be receiving extraordinary pieces from the Centre Pompidou’s collections. As a permanent exhibition, The Shape of Time takes visitors through the history of modern art, introducing the works of masters like Duchamp, Picasso, and Kandinsky. The Shanghai branch will also host live performances as well as an extensive program of art education for both kids and adults.
