Known locally as the Beaubourg, the Centre Georges Pompidou exhibits and promotes contemporary art. It is by far the most visited location in Paris, with an average of 25,000 visitors every day. Because of its popularity, it was closed for renovation for most of 1999. However it has now reopened and is attracting the same large crowds as before. The exhibition space within the centre is divided into five floors, three of which are given over to the huge public gallery with large stocks of books, videos, microfilm files, and computer video discs. On the top floor there is the Grande Galerie, where temporary exhibitions are held, and the Museum of Modern Art occupies the remaining space.
