Constellation Program 2025–2030: a more vibrant Centre Pompidou than ever! → The iconic building in the Beaubourg district of Paris closed its doors in autumn 2025 for renovations that will allow it to return, by 2030, to its original utopian vision. → At the same time, the spirit of the Centre Pompidou is being brought to life in many partner venues across France and internationally, thanks to the ambitious cultural program Constellation. → In spring 2027, a new conservation, exhibition, and creation hub will open in Massy, in the Essonne region: the Centre Pompidou Francilien – an art-making hub. It will be previewed from October 2026 during three festive weekends!

Established in 1979, we are the only artist-founded museum in Los Angeles. We are dedicated to collecting and exhibiting contemporary art. We house one of the most compelling collections of contemporary art in the world, comprising roughly 7500 objects, and have a diverse history of ground-breaking, historically-significant exhibitions. We are committed to the collection, presentation, and interpretation of art created after 1940, in all media, and to preserving that work for future generations. We provide leadership in the field by identifying and presenting the most significant and challenging art of our time, actively supporting the creation of new work, and producing original scholarship. With two distinct venues in Los Angeles—MOCA Grand Avenue, and The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA—and Michael Heizer’s seminal artwork Double Negative (1969-70) in the Nevada desert, we engage audiences through an ambitious program of exhibitions, educational programs, and publishing.
