Centre Pompidou Opens Seoul Branch, JR Designs Roland-Garros Poster, and La MansA Launches Magazine

On June 4, 2026, the Centre Pompidou will inaugurate the Centre Pompidou Hanwha in Seoul's Yeouido district, marking the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between France and South Korea. Artist JR has created the official poster for the 2026 Roland-Garros tennis tournament, employing his signature blend of photography and illusionistic techniques to transform the tennis court into an expanded, almost architectural space, giving the sporting event a more contemporary visual dimension. La MansA – Maison des mondes africains has launched MansA Magazine, a bilingual French/English semestrial cultural review available at newsstands, bookstores, and online. Anne-Claire Legendre, a French diplomat, has been appointed to replace Jack Lang as head of the Institut du Monde Arabe (IMA), aiming to restore confidence among partners and inject new cultural momentum. The 20th edition of the Journées Marteau auction event was also announced.
