Slated for exhibition are a number of works acquired during the last sum of two units years, including pieces by Duchamp, Miro, Ernst and Picabia, as well as contemporary installation works of the like kind as Annette Messager's Mes Petites Effigies and Mike Kelley and Tony Oursler's The Poetics Project The galleries for temporary exhibitions upon the second and sixth floors have also been expanded and improved.

The renovations have also encompassed an expansion and upgrading of the Pompidou's ever-popular library, which will now have its be in possession of entrance from the ground floor of the center; four of recent origin theater spaces for films, performances and symposia; and an expanded bookstore. The Pompidou has also granted concessions for a fresh top-floor restaurant, two new cafes and a snack bar to the Coste family, who move swiftly a well-known cafe in the area.
