The organisation of the Centre Pompidou
A state-owned administrative body
The Georges Pompidou National Centre for Art and Culture (CNAC-GP), is state-owned administrative body (EPA) under the tutelage of Ministries of Culture and Budget.
An EPA is a legal entity under public law to which the State has delegated all or part of the design and implementation of a public policy. Constituting a subdivision of the State, it acts, like the latter, in the name and on behalf of the French Republic.
In its status as a legal personality with legal and financial autonomy, it also receives funding from own resources (entrance fees, partnerships, sponsorship, etc.) and recruits its staff.
Under the supervision but not the authority of the ministers concerned, a public body receives instructions from the Government only within the framework set out by its constitutive texts and the detailed procedures recorded therein.
The Board of Directors includes representatives from the ministries concerned (culture, budget), parliamentarians, the Mayor of Paris, staff representatives and other qualified individuals.
