France opens new Pompidou centre in Metz

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has opened a big new outpost of the Pompidou arts centre in Metz, north-eastern France.

It is the first time the world-famous centre has ventured beyond Paris.

It was designed by Shigeru Ban and Jean de Gastines, and it shows Ban's Japanese roots.

It bears no physical resemblance to its big brother in Paris, although it will have access to its huge store of art works.
