Hong Kong’s M+ Museum Launches Alliance with Centre Pompidou and MoMA as Part of Fifth Anniversary Celebrations—Podcast

The alliance will treat the museums’ holdings as a shared collection and could reach 10 million annual in-person visitors, officials said.

  • On Friday, M+, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris announced an unprecedented cultural alliance. The three institutions signed a framework agreement to integrate research, conservation, and curatorial objectives across three continents.
  • "No single institution can encompass the entire scope of global creativity," said Centre Pompidou President Laurent Le Bon. The alliance formalizes previous bilateral partnerships into a long-term commitment to deepen intellectual exchange and organize joint exhibitions.
  • MoMA director Christophe Cherix, M+ museum director Suhanya Raffel, and Le Bon formally signed the agreement in Hong Kong. This framework allows staff to treat their holdings as a shared collection, co-organizing exhibitions and rotating works globally.
  • The institutions will co-organize an exhibition exploring "the contemporary" over the next five years, presented at all three sites. The Centre Pompidou's $512 million, five-year renovation makes this agreement particularly timely.
  • A joint steering committee will meet monthly to coordinate conservation, research, and professional development across the three institutions. This initiative aligns with M+'s fifth anniversary, positioning the alliance to reach a combined 10 million annual visitors.
