7. Centre Georges Pompidou and the "Beaubourg" Neighborhood[qh]
蓬皮杜藝術中心和波堡[qh]
Parisians consider the Centre Georges Pompidou to be the cultural pulse of the city. This modern art museum and cultural center, located in the neighborhood affectionately dubbed Beaubourg by locals, opened in 1977 to honor president Georges Pompidou. The Center's signature skeletal design, which evokes bones and blood vessels, is either loved or reviled-- no in-betweens. If wacky design isn't your cup of tea, the permanent collection at the National Museum of Modern Art is a must and features works by Modigliani and Matisse. Rooftop views of the city are also in order.[qh]
巴黎人把蓬皮杜藝術中心當做城市的文化動脈
。這個現代美術館是文化中心,位于波堡區,于1977年開館,并以蓬皮杜總統命名 。中心特色鮮明的外露結構設計象征著血肉,人們對此非愛即恨 。如果你不喜歡古怪的設計,你可以去現代藝術館的國家博物館看莫迪利亞尼和馬蒂斯的作品 。去樓頂俯瞰城市也是很好的選擇 。[qh]
