MuMo - Centre Pompidou
Since 2022, the MuMo - Centre Pompidou museum truck has been travelling the roads of France, visiting local residents with works of modern and contemporary art from the Centre Pompidou.
"En voyage" exhibition
Anexhibition imagined by Annalisa Rimmaudo, curatorial attaché at the Mnam - Centre Pompidou.
Since ancient times, travel has been a source of inspiration for artists and has contributed to the creative process. Art is influenced by travel, and travel in turn is modified by art. Travelling artists help to document and disseminate images of faraway places. Their interactions with other artists and their experiences during their travels nourish their graphic and artistic experiments. The desire to cross borders permeates the stories we tell to make sense of the world, from great epics to science fiction, from travel diaries to self-discovery.
Through some twenty works from the collections of the Musée national d'art moderne - Centre Pompidou, this exhibition questions our ways of thinking.
Most of the journeys we think of involve physical displacement, but the journeys that take place in the mind also cross time and cultures. So the work of art is itself a means of travel.

Will a truck be passing through my area soon?
Presentation of the museum-truck
This collaboration leaves plenty of room for the works on display. The truck was imagined as a multifunctional tool, simple and adaptable to different uses around three spaces: the loggia, the exhibition room and the alcove. The loggia opens out like a theater stage to welcome the public. The exhibition room is the heart of the installation, a streamlined space in which technical elements are hidden to avoid visual disturbance of the works. The alcove is the raised space extending from the exhibition room. It can be a projection room with seating, a place for sculptures or a work of art in itself, imagined by Krijn de Koning.
Designer interviews
How did you go about designing the museum truck for the Centre Pompidou?
Isabel Hérault: We approached this project from two angles. The first concerned its technical aspects: we considered all the possibilities offered by the truck, which led us to study the operation of different types of existing truck (fire department, Tour de France, etc.).
I'd like to talk about the loggia, which is one of the highlights of the project.
I.H.: The loggia is primarily designed as a reception area, a buffer space that protects the museum from the outside world. (...) It is reminiscent of a revisited trade fair stand, both attractive and cheerful, with the sign above and the red color creating a focal point. It has very pragmatic functionalities, with checkrooms on either side so that you can leave your coat behind...
