A complex building in the Beaubourg area that houses:

• Public Information Library

• Le Musée National d'Art Moderne (the largest museum for modern art in Europe)

• IRCAM (a center for music and acoustic research.). You'll notice the unusual design/colors of the building (it was a controversial topic when it was built and finished in 1977, many Parisians hated this modern building as it clashed with Paris' architecture).
