The Centre Pompidou-Metz is a museum of modern and contemporary art in Metz, the capital of Lorraine in northeastern France, and a branch of the Parisian Pompidou Centre. Completed in 2010 and inaugurated by President Nicolas Sarkozy, the building was designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban alongside Philip Gumuchdjian and Jean de Gastines in the high-tech architectural style. The museum houses semi-permanent and temporary exhibitions drawn from the French National Museum of Modern Art's vast 20th- and 21st-century collection—the largest in Europe. Its defining feature is an extraordinary roof structure, one of the most complex ever built, inspired by a Chinese hat that Shigeru Ban discovered in Paris. With 5,000 square meters of exhibition space across three galleries supplemented by a theatre and auditorium, it serves as France's largest temporary exhibition venue outside Paris and has become among the country's most visited cultural institutions.
