Located in the heart of the historic and trendy Marais, the Musée national Picasso-Paris is a must see among the great Parisian museums. The Musée national Picasso-Paris’s exceptional collection is a result of a dation from Picasso’s family members. Representative of Pablo Picasso’s entire career, the collection is composed of major works from the artist’s workshops, which he preserved until his death, and of his entire archives (more than 200,000 pieces), forming a faithful and intimate portrait of one of the most emblematic modern artists. This collection – considered to be the most important in the world – is housed in an exceptional 17th century mansion, nestled in the historic heart of French culture.

In addition to its main collection, the Musée Picasso presents a rich program of temporary exhibitions and more contemporary performing arts whose artists or themes show Picasso’s broad and enduring legacy.

Come and explore the richness of Picasso’s creation and make your encounter with the works a unique experience.
