M+ and Centre Pompidou Announce Five-Year Partnership

The deal expands each museum’s reach during Pompidou’s closure by pooling exhibitions, research, and staff expertise.

Overview

  • The two museums unveiled a five-year partnership that begins next year, with co-organized exhibitions at M+ slated to start in 2027.
  • The program covers artwork loans, joint research and new commissions, along with exchanges for curators and other museum professionals.
  • A four-year postdoctoral Huo Research Fellowship will fund scholarship that supports exhibitions developed through the collaboration.
  • The partnership will culminate in a major joint exhibition that opens at the Pompidou when it reopens around 2029–2030 before traveling to M+.
  • Leaders said the tie-up aims to engage younger audiences and foster dialogue between Europe and Asia during the Pompidou’s renovation shutdown.
