What to expect
The Museum National Picasso Paris is one of the world's largest painting museums, inaugurated in Paris in 1985 by President François Mitterrand. Located in the magnificent Hôtel Salé in the heart of the Marais district, it is entirely dedicated to the most extraordinary collection of works by the Spanish painter.
This museum, with its streamlined style, is chronologically structured around a magnificent historic staircase. Visitors traverse the 20th century, from 1895 to 1972, following the master artist step by step, the founding father of all major currents of modern art. Monotony is not in order here, and without equivalent worldwide, the collection stands at a very high level of Picasso's production and creation.

About the National Picasso Museum Paris
After Picasso's death in 1973, it was decided to dedicate a grand house in Paris to him. The Hôtel Salé, a splendid 17th-century mansion in the Marais district, was chosen as the perfect place to host the masterpieces of the Cubism founder. Following extensive renovations, the museum was inaugurated by François Mitterrand in 1985. It is a marvelous museum, housing perhaps the most extraordinary Picasso collection in the world. The collection, obtained by the French state from his heirs in lieu of inheritance taxes and enriched by their donations, includes over 200 paintings, 150 sculptures, 100 ceramics, and 3,000 drawings and prints, all of exceptional quality. Picasso had always refused to sell these works, intending to one day offer them to a French museum.
Did You Know?
It is said that Picasso spent an entire night alone in the Louvre Museum, comparing his paintings with those of the great masters. He left satisfied with his examination, confident that there would one day be a Picasso museum. He once said, "Give me a museum, and I'll fill it." With the National Picasso Museum, he succeeded.
