The life, the work of Pablo Picasso in the largest collection in the world.

The Hôtel Salé

Housed since 1985 in the Hôtel Salé, one of the most iconic private mansions built in the late seventeenth century in the Marais, the museum has just benefited from a major refurbishment which has allowed it to double the exhibition spaces and create reception spaces and services tailored to the public.

The collection

The Musée national Picasso-Paris collection is the largest Picasso collection in the world, it has over 5,000 works and tens of thousands of archive documents. Due to its quality, its magnitude and the diversity of artistic fields represented, it is the only public collection in the world that allows both a journey through all the work painted, sculpted, engraved and drawn by Picasso, and a precise evoking - through sketches, studies, drawings, sketchbooks, successive states of engravings, photographs, illustrated books, films and documents - of the creative process of the artist.

A museum in motion

The new Musée national Picasso-Paris, reopened in October 2014, has the ambition to be a museum in motion. The ambitious temporary exhibitions, the wealth of its collection and its many events invite visitors to bring new perspectives to the work of Picasso. Trying to capture, evoke, present, exhibit the "movement of thought" that drives the creation of the artist is the main driving force.

The Musée national Picasso-Paris is a lively place, which offers a constantly renewed face to its public, to watch again and again!
