KANAL - Centre Pompidou is a museum for modern and contemporary art located in Brussels, Belgium, near the Brussels–Charleroi Canal, in the former Citroën Garage buildings.
The former showroom, on the corner of the Square Sainctelette and the Place de l'Yser/Ijzerplein was a single, 21-metre-high (69 ft) volume with a glass facade.
On 28 March 2017, the Urban Development Corporation (SAU-MSI) of the Brussels-Capital Region launched an international design competition for the €125 million conversion to a museum.
