As a national museum, the Centre Pompidou is government-owned and subsidised by the Ministry of Culture (64.2% of its budget in 2012 : 82.8 on 129 million €), essentially for its staff. The Culture Ministry appoints its directors and controls its gestion, which is nevertheless independent, as ''Etablissement public à caractère administratif'' since its creation. In 2011, the museum earned $1.9 million from travelling exhibitions[https://socialosso.com/ .]<ref>Carvaja, Doreen (23 January 2011), [https://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/24/arts/24squeeze.html "'This Space for Rent': In Europe, Arts Now Must Woo Commerce"], ''The New York Times''. {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170211081200/http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/24/arts/24squeeze.html |date=11 February 2017 }}.</ref>
