Housed in the prestigious Hôtel Salé, built in the 17th century in the heart of the Marais, the Musée National Picasso-Paris is home to the world’s largest public collection of works by the artist Pablo Picasso.
Comprising more than 6,000 works and 200,000 archival items, the collection was assembled from bequests to the French government by Picasso’s heirs, those of Jacqueline Picasso, and Maya Ruiz-Picasso, the artist’s daughter. The collection is complemented by Pablo Picasso’s personal collection and archives. This body of work spans all periods of his creative career as well as all the art forms he explored, from paintings and sculptures to drawings and prints.
Among the must-see masterpieces are: *Paul as a Harlequin* (1924), *Self-Portrait 1901*, *Two Women Running on the Beach* (1922), *Portrait of Dora Maar* (1937), Portrait of Olga in an Armchair (1918), The Goat (1950), The Barefoot Girl (1895), Seated Woman (1902), The Kiss (1969), Head of a Woman (1931), and Pan’s Flute (1923). The museum features temporary exhibitions, as well as a unique program of performances, activities, talks, and events.
