The nearby [[Stravinsky Fountain]] (also called the ''Fontaine des automates''), on Place Stravinsky, features 16 whimsical moving and water-spraying sculptures by [[Jean Tinguely]] and [[Niki de Saint-Phalle]], which represent themes and works by composer [[Igor Stravinsky]]. The black-painted mechanical sculptures are by Tinguely, the coloured works by de Saint-Phalle. The fountain opened in 1983.<ref>Hortense Lyon, ''La Fontaine Stravinsky'', Collection Baccalaureat arts plastiques 2004, Centre national de documentation pedagogique</ref>

====Place Georges Pompidou====
The Place Georges Pompidou in front of the museum is noted for the presence of [[busking|street performers]], such as [[mime artist|mime]]s and [[juggler]]s. In the spring, miniature [[carnivals]] are installed temporarily into the place in front with a wide variety of attractions: bands, [[caricature]] and [[sketch (drawing)|sketch artists]], tables set up for evening dining, and even [[skate board|skateboarding]] competitions.

In 2021 the artists Arotin & Serghei realised for the re-inauguration of the Place Georges Pompidou after years of works, and in the context of IRCAM's festival ''Manifeste'' the intermedial large-scale installation ''Infinite Light Columns / Constellations of The Future'' 1–4, ''Tribute to [[Constantin Brancusi]],'' installed along Piano's IRCAM Tower, on the opposite site of Brancusi's studio, visible from both, the Place Igor Stravinsky and Place Georges Pompidou. Then president of the Centre Pompidou, [[Serge Lasvignes]], said in his 2015 inauguration speech: "The installation symbolises what the Centre Pompidou wants to be... a multidisciplinary ensemble... it is the resurrection of the initial spirit of the Centre Pompidou with the Piazza, the living heart of creation".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Stocker |first=Gerfried |title=AROTIN & SERGHEI Infinite Screen – From Light Cells to Monumental Installations at Centre Pompidou |publisher=Hatje Cantz |year=2023 |isbn=978-3-7757-4545-1 |location=Berlin |pages=11 |language=en}}</ref><ref name=bommelaer2015>{{cite web | last=Bommelaer | first=Claire | title=Pompidou : Serge Lasvignes s'explique, Fleur Pellerin assume | website=Le Figaro | date=5 March 2015 | url=https://www.lefigaro.fr/culture/2015/03/05/03004-20150305ARTFIG00171-pompidou-serge-lasvignes-s-explique-fleur-pellerin-assume.php | language=fr | access-date=20 February 2025}}</ref><ref name=gignoux2015>{{cite web | last=Gignoux | first=Sabine | title=Serge Lasvignes, un nouvel énarque à la tête de Beaubourg | website=La Croix | date=4 March 2015 | url=https://www.la-croix.com/Culture/Expositions/Serge-Lasvignes-un-nouvel-enarque-a-la-tete-de-Beaubourg-2015-03-04-1287298 | language=fr | access-date=20 February 2025}}</ref>
