Centre Pompidou in Metz, France

I was fascinated to find out about the Centre Pompidou being built in Metz. I think this “franchizing” of museums in different cities is fantastic. I visited the Bilbao Guggenheim several years ago, and I can’t wait to see the new Metz Centre Pompidou. But I do wonder whether it’s really necessary to attach an existing name to a new museum. If the same amount of money and effort were put into building a museum called Le Centre Degueldre, say, would it be notably less interesting?
