\n\tTwo high-profile museums\u2014Hong Kong\u2019s M+, a contemporary art museum that opened in 2021 in a building designed by Herzog & de Meuron facing Victoria Harbor, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris\u2019s National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, which closed last year for a long-planned renovation of its Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers building\u2014have announced a five-year partnership, beginning next year.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe plan was announced at M+ on May 15 and reported by the South China Morning Post<\/em>. Representatives from both institutions were on hand, including M+ director Suhanya Raffel, Pompidou president Laurent Le Bon, and French Consul General Christile Drulhe. The following day, Le Bon and Raffel participated in a keynote lecture at the museum about the Pompidou\u2019s history, plans for the refurbished building, and the nature of the museums\u2019 newly announced collaboration.<\/p>\n \n\tRaffel, who was appointed director of M+ in 2016, five years before the museum opened, noted that her team looked up to the Pompidou while they were building their own institution and collection. \u201cIt is remarkable for us to be able to say, \u2018yes, we are now working with a museum mentor for M+, but as also, I hope, an equal partner,\u2019\u201d she told the SCMP<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tThe two institutions plan to lend artworks for exhibitions, collaborate on research and new commissions, and support exchanges among curators and other museum professionals. Starting in 2027, M+ and the Pompidou will co-organize a series of exhibitions that will be on view at the Hong Kong museum, featuring artworks from both collections; a four-year postdoctoral appointment for a research fellow focusing on 20th- and 21st-century Western and Asian art is also part of the partnership.<\/p>\n \n\tThe museums\u2019 collaboration culminates in major exhibition that will first be on view at the Pompidou when it reopens in 2029 or 2030, before traveling to M+. The show will focus on \u201cthe diversity and richness of visual culture in France and Greater China, and the new dialogues they create in a rapidly changing world,\u201d according to a statement from M+.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/m-plus-hong-kong-centre-pompidou-paris-announce-new-five-year-partnership-1234785916\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Untitled-1.jpg?w=1024″] Two high-profile museums\u2014Hong Kong\u2019s M+, a contemporary art museum that opened in 2021 in a building designed by Herzog & de Meuron facing Victoria Harbor, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris\u2019s National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, which closed last year for a long-planned renovation of its Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,226],"class_list":["post-1942548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-artnews-com","tag-crawlmanager"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1942548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1942548"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1942548\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1942548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1942548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1942548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
