The place is amazing for contemporary art, it's huge and spacious, perfectly located in the city center along the river, but I'll not put 5 stars because I was a bit disappointed by the exhibition, I didn't like it too much. I will need to come back again for the next one, the place have such a potential for installations.

Although it was very hot during my visit, I still enjoyed it! The museum part was just amazing, the art was great and it truly moved me. But remember - you will have to think hours wise while you’re planning on going there - one hour is not enough time to see the pieces there. After having a good time in the museum you might get a bit hungry, but no worries! There’s a restaurant in the building and one outside as well. The food was delicious, including vegetarian options! I didn’t see one part of the museum due to the weather I think - but that’s okay, on my next trip to Paris I will surely come back! I recommend going there! It’s all very clean and the staff is helpful. And also make sure to take a look at the Eiffel Tower which you can see from behind the building! (The only problem was no air conditioning)

This is a fascinating contemporary art museum housed in a beautiful and edgy building. We like to visit contemporary art museums around the world although we often don’t understand what we are seeing. The Haiti/embroidery exhibit is exceptional. The design work is extraordinary. We had lunch at the cafe which was fine. I’d eat somewhere else next time.

Cute venue with plenty of space and comfortable seating in the gallery, perfect for resting between exhibitions. There’s also a nice restaurant nearby. In August 2025, we enjoyed only 2 of the 5 exhibitions. The venue had no air conditioning, which could be uncomfortable on hot days.
