Un Centre Pompidou en Corée
The Centre Pompidou has officially announced the opening date for its new satellite branch in Seoul, South Korea, scheduled for June 26, 2026. This international expansion is being developed in partnership with the Hanwha Foundation of Culture, a philanthropic arm of the South Korean conglomerate Hanwha, and will be housed in a space designed by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte.
This move represents a significant step in the Centre Pompidou's global branding strategy and its efforts to secure diverse revenue streams through international licensing and expertise. By establishing a presence in Seoul's burgeoning art scene, the institution strengthens cultural ties between France and South Korea while expanding its influence in the Asian art market.
