Centre Pompidou Place Georges-Pompidou, 75004 Paris Paris’ most influential modern art gallery – and the most important in Europe – is on the 3e arrondissement’s doorstep. Just on the cusp (we think it counts!) you can admire one of the city’s most iconic buildings for its conceptual architecture and bright coloured façade. Inside this boiler-house looking building you will find over 50,000 works of art from paintings to sculptures, installations and photography from renowned artists such as Picasso, Duchamp, Ernst and Miró. Although there are varied opinions when it comes to the appearance of the building, none can fault what’s within. Sprawling over six floors the Pompidou gallery takes visitors through the revolutionary artistic movements from Dadaism to Expressionism – and everything in between. The Museum of Arts and Invention Conservatoire national des Arts et Métiers, 60 rue Réaumur, 75003 Paris Housing the original 1794 collection of some of the most ground-breaking inventions, the Museum of Arts and Invention is a treasure trove of the weird and wonderful. With over 3,000 inventions and scientific discoveries to be discovered, it’s a great place to take the kids to learn about technological advancements and the origins of some of today’s day-to-day objects. Located on the site of a deserted abbey, the chapel part of the museum houses a collection of vintage cars and flying machines suspended on the roof, as well as familiar iconic objects on display. Hint hint, New York’s leading lady might make an appearance... Museum of Jewish Art and History Hôtel De Saint-Aignan, 71 Rue Du Temple, 75003 Paris Located in one of the finest private mansions in Paris, Hôtel De Saint-Aignan; a stunning location for one of the most important museums to do with Jewish culture in France.
