A building that shows its pipes and carries its stairs outside, raised on the Beaubourg plateau near the old Halles: the president who had willed it had died nearly three years before it opened, and his successor inaugurated it. The Musée national d’art moderne joined there a public library and a musical research institute. (Editorial synthesis)
