Centquatre-Paris, Cultural center in 19th arrondissement, France.
The Centquatre-Paris spans 39,000 square meters with exhibition halls, artist studios, theaters, restaurants, and shops under grand glass-vaulted ceilings and iron structures.
Built in 1870 as a municipal funeral service building, the center housed facilities for 300 horses, 100 funeral chariots, and employed 1,400 people during peak operations.
The center maintains 200 artists in residence who create works across multiple disciplines, from visual arts to performances, while opening their workshops to public viewing.
Visitors can access the center Tuesday through Friday from noon until 7 PM and weekends from 11 AM, with nearby metro stations Riquet and Stalingrad.
The building transformation in 2008 required 110 million euros to convert the former mortuary into spaces where children now play and artists create.
