Don't think I've seen this mentioned, the Pompidou is closing for five years. So if that was on your bucket list, you'll need a new bucket.

I am glad I was able to visit last month, two days prior to the closing of their excellent exhibition on surrealism. I also enjoyed their permanent collection and look forward to going again in 5 years.

Five years is the time allotment that President Macron had set for the restoration of Notre Dame, which was indeed viewed at the outset as extremely daunting if not possible. Still, the restoration was accomplished within 5 years.
Luckily, I visited the Pompidou Center in the first decade of the 21st century. Always sites in Paris to visit and revisit.

We'll be in Paris starting on Sept 28th. I've read that the Pompidou will be closing late Sept but can't find a date. We'd plan to visit the museum early in our stay if it is still opened. Has anyone seen a specific date for the closing?
