Shortly after their donation of #305 to ICA Miami, Yuga Labs (under Natalie Stone's stewardship) donated #110 to Center Pompidou in Paris.

"With the entry of CryptoPunk #110, from one of the most popular NFT series of its kind, into the collection of the National Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou is pursuing its interest in digital art, in connection with the blockchain," said  Xavier Rey, Director of the National Museum of Modern Art. "Web3 is an innovative territory that artists have now seized upon to create original and daring work, and this collection reaffirms our support for artists in their conquest of new means of expression, which is the foundation of modern art."

"The Punks Legacy Project is designed to be a cultural bridge between the traditional art world and web3 industry, paving the way for a collective understanding of how digital art can be accepted and appreciated for its impact and modern relevance. This next installment is further proof that CryptoPunks belong on the walls of global art institutions," said Greg Solano, Co-Founder of Yuga Labs. "Seeing CryptoPunk #110 displayed in the Centre Pompidou, arguably the world's most prestigious contemporary art museum, is a great moment for the web3 and NFT ecosystem, and we're honored to help drive this cultural conversation."
