Photographer's Note

Small try of black and white inside the Pompidou Center of Metz.

The Centre Pompidou Metz is a museum of modern and contemporary arts designed by architects Shigeru Ban, located in Metz, capital of Lorraine, France

The Centre Pompidou-Metz is a large hexagon structured round a central spire reaching 77 metres high, alluding to the 1977 opening date of the original Centre Pompidou of Paris. It possesses three rectangular galleries weaving through the building at different levels, jutting out through the roof with huge picture windows angled towards landmarks such as the Saint-Stephen Gothic cathedral, the Imperial Metz railway station, the Arsenal Concert Hall built by architect Ricardo Bofill, the Arènes indoor sport arena, and the Seille park. The great nave covers 1,200 m² and provides flexibility for the exhibition of large artworks, with the ceiling rising progressively from a height of 5.70 to 18 metres.
