Bibliothèque Kandinsky
The Kandinsky Library, or Bibliothèque Kandinsky, is a Paris library for 20th and 21st century visual arts. It is located at the Pompidou Centre and also serves as the Documentation and Research Centre for the French National Museum of Modern Art. Named after Wassily Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstract art, it opened in 2002. The library holds more than 200,000 items from about 5,000 artists, designers, and architects, including art books, journals, photographs, audio and video recordings, and artist archives. Much of the collection came from the former Centre national d'art contemporain, and in 2006 the Paul Destribats collection was added, making it one of the largest early 20th-century visual art collections in the world.
