====Cultural Centers====
Amiens Métropole has nine cultural centers which cover much of the metropolitan area: six in various districts of Amiens, and three in the neighbouring communes of [[Longueau]], [[Camon, Somme|Camon]] and [[Glisy]]. These outreach facilities working in the field of art and creation are openly oriented "venues". Open to all, they offer an eclectic programme; theatre and concerts, shows for young people and dance, projections of films, exhibitions, meetings and debates. In 2013, they accommodated 48,000 people.<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://fr.calameo.com/read/0012028358080c828ad06|title=Ces centres ont la culture de proximité|journal=JDA|issue=706|date=29 January 2014|id=amiens.fr|access-date=20 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150904084632/http://fr.calameo.com/read/0012028358080c828ad06|archive-date=4 September 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref>
