7. Centre Georges Pompidou and the "Beaubourg" Neighborhood[qh]
蓬皮杜艺术中心和波堡[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]
巴黎人把蓬皮杜艺术中心当做城市的文化动脉
。这个现代美术馆是文化中心,位于波堡区,于1977年开馆,并以蓬皮杜总统命名 。中心特色鲜明的外露结构设计象征着血肉,人们对此非爱即恨 。如果你不喜欢古怪的设计,你可以去现代艺术馆的国家博物馆看莫迪利亚尼和马蒂斯的作品 。去楼顶俯瞰城市也是很好的选择 。[qh]
