Announced on 30 October 2026, the partnership brings together three major institutions dedicated to modern and contemporary art, with a combined reach of approximately 10 million in-person visitors and 125 million online visitors annually. Christophe Cherix, the David Rockefeller Director of MoMA, Laurent Le Bon, President of Centre Pompidou, and Suhanya Raffel, Museum Director of M+, signed a Framework Agreement at a ceremony held at M+ in Hong Kong, attended by trustees and stakeholders from all three museums. Founded in 1929, 1977 and 2021 respectively, the institutions have developed distinct collections shaped by their geographical and cultural contexts. Their alliance aims to build on these complementary strengths, expanding access to their collections while creating opportunities for joint exhibitions, shared programmes, long-term loans, curatorial research and conservation. Although each museum will retain its institutional independence and identity, the partnership is intended to broaden public engagement with modern and contemporary art across three continents. By bringing together expertise and collections spanning multiple disciplines and cultural traditions, the alliance also seeks to encourage new interpretations of 20th- and 21st-century creativity. “This cultural alliance makes our museums embassies for each other, in effect creating an extraordinary gateway that opens onto three continents,” said Cherix. He added that the collaboration would strengthen intellectual exchange through aligned programming, joint exhibitions, art preservation and international audience engagement. Le Bon emphasised the importance of cooperation in presenting a wider picture of global creativity. “No single institution can encompass the entire scope of global creativity. We aim to work on a broader and deeper level,” he said, noting that the alliance would facilitate long-term loans and deepen the presentation of significant artists and movements. For Raffel, the partnership offers an opportunity to bring perspectives from Asia into a wider international conversation. “As Asia’s global museum of contemporary visual culture, M+ brings perspectives from Hong Kong and our region to this dialogue,” she said. She also highlighted the alliance’s potential to create opportunities for artists and audiences while encouraging a more cooperative and sustainable future for museums. The announcement comes as Centre Pompidou marks its 50th anniversary amid an extensive renovation of its historic Paris building. The institution is continuing its activities beyond its usual premises through *Constellation*, a programme of events and collaborations taking place in Paris, across France and internationally. M+, located in Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District, brings a multidisciplinary collection of more than 9,000 works to the alliance, encompassing visual art, design, architecture, moving image and Hong Kong visual culture. MoMA contributes a collection that has played a defining role in the history of modern art, alongside its exhibition, research, conservation and educational programmes. By connecting these collections and institutional networks, the new alliance establishes a framework for sustained international exchange. Its success will depend on how the partnership translates shared resources into exhibitions, research initiatives and public programmes that make art more accessible across geographical and cultural boundaries.
