This monographic museum, which brings together the largest collection of the artist's works, is located in the majestic setting of the Hôtel Salé, a former Parisian mansion in the heart of the Marais district. Drawings, studies, sketches, sketchbooks, engravings, photographs, illustrated books, films … Everything has been brought together to offer a rich insight into Picasso’s different periods and many areas of artistic creation, and present his creative process, his techniques, his inspirations, and his private collections.
In addition to 5,000 works and 200,000 archive items, the place regularly hosts fascinating temporary exhibitions that approach the artist's world from a new angle each time.
Until May 25, 2025, the Musée national Picasso-Paris presents its new temporary exhibition: “L'art“degenerate” art. The trial of modern art under Nazism”. The first exhibition in France devoted to so-called “degenerate” art, it explores and puts into perspective the Nazi regime's methodical attack on modern art. “Degenerate art. The trial of modern art under Nazism” looks in particular at the propaganda exhibition ‘Entartete Kunst’ (Degenerate Art), organized in 1937 in Munich, featuring over 600 works by a hundred artists representing the different currents of modern art, from Otto Dix to Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, from Vassily Kandinsky to Emil Nolde, from Paul Klee to Max Beckmann, in a staging designed to provoke the visitor's disgust.
