Centre Pompidou, M+, and MoMA Announce Formation of Cultural Alliance

At an event held at M+ in Hong Kong, the directors of the Centre Pompidou, M+, and MoMA signed a Framework Agreement, officially launching the new cultural alliance. This partnership brings together the extensive collections and expertise of the three institutions, enabling them to co-organize exhibitions and programs for their respective audiences.

Each museum will retain its independence and unique identity, but the alliance is intended to enhance their collective capabilities beyond what any one institution could achieve alone. The collaboration will include long-term loans of artworks, joint curatorial research, and shared efforts in conservation.

The combined annual audience of the three museums is estimated at 10 million in-person visitors and 125 million online visitors. Through this alliance, audiences across Europe, Asia, and North America will have access to a broader and more diverse cultural experience, as well as deeper engagement with the museums’ collections.

The alliance aims to serve as a cultural bridge between continents, allowing audiences to explore the rich holdings of each institution more deeply. By pooling resources and knowledge, the museums seek to foster artistic innovation and expand public participation through research and exchange.

The Centre Pompidou is currently undergoing significant transformation, including major renovations of its historic building. The alliance extends the centre’s influence beyond its architecture, emphasizing its commitment to innovation and cultural leadership.

With a presence spanning three continents, the alliance is positioned to broaden the understanding of modern and contemporary art, offering new perspectives and collaborative opportunities for both audiences and professionals.
