Although the museum will not open its doors before 2009, a special website already reveals the extravagant design of the Centre Pompidou branch in the French city of Metz that is currently under construction. It will be France’s first example of cultural decentralisation organised by a national establishment, later to be followed by the Louvre at both Lens and Abu Dhabi. The website of the Centre Pompidou will take you through each major stage of the project, from the design phase until the grand opening and provides some good images of Shigeru Ban’s tent-like building.
