The Musée national Picasso-Paris reveals its collection displayed across three floors. Ten years after the museum's reopening, the collection is permanently installed in the setting of the Hôtel Salé.
The fruit of an extraordinary history, the formation of the collection of the Musée national Picasso-Paris was made possible through the dation mechanism; today it is the largest public collection of works by Picasso, the "Picasso de Picasso". Originating from the artist's studios, this collection allows us to better grasp the aesthetic explorations of this Picasso, by turns: disconcerting, plural, contradictory, reflexive, gestural and conceptual, aesthete and committed, bricoleur and poet. Is he symbolist, cubist, classical, surrealist, or simply figurative and political?
An open and living place, the museum takes up questions of society in order to examine, through the passage of its work, that of its reception, that is to say that of the most renowned painter, the most looked at, but also the most discussed.
It is also an opportunity to devote dossier exhibitions or counterpoints, at the heart of the collections.
