The Centre Pompidou outpost in Metz is due to open in May. A massive 780-piece show will launch the Museum (700 pieces on loan from the main museum in Paris), and will be sure to attract loads of attention and visitors. I wonder how long it will be before other museums, galleries, and art-oriented businesses will open in and around Metz. Could the Ballet go on summer break here? Visiting opera? Hotels? Cafes?
