\n\tA Brazilian outpost of Paris\u2019s hallowed Centre Pompidou initially planned to open next year has been pushed back 2029, according to a report in the Art Newspaper<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tConstruction on Centre Pompidou Paran\u00e1, in the southern Brazilian city of Foz do Igua\u00e7u, has not begun, and a planned call for bids has reportedly been pushed back from its expected date next month. A Pompidou spokesperson told TAN<\/em>, \u201cThe project is currently working toward an opening in 2029 and is in the technical preparatory stages for the bidding process.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tA likely part of the reason for the delay is governmental change in the state of Paran\u00e1. The original deal was signed last year by governor Carlos Massa Ratinho Junior, with an investment of close to $50 million. But after an election earlier this month, his administration has changed to that of Sergio Moro. According to TAN<\/em>, \u201cDuring his campaign, the former federal judge\u2014best known for the Lava Jato investigation that led to the current Brazilian president Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva\u2019s imprisonment before his conviction was later annulled\u2014pledged to continue the museum project.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe Pompidou spokesperson said the change in the timeline \u201cis to ensure that Centre Pompidou Paran\u00e1 is established as a state cultural policy, rather than merely an initiative tied to a specific administration.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe site planned for Centre Pompidou Paran\u00e1 is near Iguazu Falls, a well-traveled UNESCO World Heritage site since 1984. The proposed building was designed by the Paraguayan architect Solano Benitez, and estimates for visitation to the museum are expected to amount to some 800,000 annually.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/centre-pompidou-parana-delay-1234802759\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/centre-pompidou_parana_maquette.jpg?w=1000″] A Brazilian outpost of Paris\u2019s hallowed Centre Pompidou initially planned to open next year has been pushed back 2029, according to a report in the Art Newspaper.
