And history, culture is always about what is being recorded.\u201d Known as Bpi, the Pompidou library, which welcomed 1.3 million visitors last year, is prized for its free access and almost 320,000 documents in all areas of knowledge. \u201cI was very touched by seeing up to 2,000 people, not all young, actually quite diverse people, sitting at all these tables everywhere, studying, working quietly and peacefully together,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Pompidou opened in 1977 and that spirit of free education or free access to knowledge is today more important than ever. And I hope that our countries, our politicians, see the value in that.\u201d In that spirit, French fashion house Celine collaborated with the Pompidou to offer four days of free admission to the exhibition: on Friday, the opening day, July 3, Aug. 28 and the final day, Sept. 22. \u201cIt\u2019s only love give it away,\u201d by Wolfgang Tillmans, 2005.
