Musée national Picasso-Paris

Housed in the prestigious Hôtel Salé, built in the 17th century in the heart of the Marais district, the Musée National Picasso-Paris is home to the world's largest public collection of works by the artist Pablo Picasso.
With over 5,000 works and 200,000 archive items, the collection was built up through donations to the French state by Picasso's heirs, Jacqueline Picasso's heirs and Maya Ruiz-Picasso, the artist's daughter. The collection is completed by Pablo Picasso's personal collection and archives. The collection covers all periods of Picasso's creative career, as well as all the art forms in which he worked, from paintings to sculptures, drawings and engravings.
Among the masterpieces not to be missed: Paul en Arlequin (1924), Autoportrait 1901, Deux femmes courant sur la plage (1922), Portrait de Dora Maar (1937), Portrait d'Olga dans un fauteuil (1918), La chèvre (1950), La fillette aux pieds nus (1895), Femme assise (1902), Le baiser (1969), Tête de femme (1931) and La flûte de Pan (1923). The museum offers temporary exhibitions, as well as a unique program of shows, animations, meetings and events.
