Picasso Museum in Paris

Picasso Museum - Paris

Picasso Museum - Paris

The Musée Picasso is situated in the heart of historic Paris, and has a collection of several thousand works of Pablo Picasso. Picasso was born in 1881 and he began to study art in 1895.

 

During his life he created diverse works: painting, sculpture, drawing, ceramics, engraving, and even poetry. After his death in 1973, many of Picasso's works went to the French state, which decided to form a museum with the collection.

To house the collection, they chose to use a seventeenth-century hotel, situated in the Marais. This is the Hôtel Salé that was built in 1656 for the general Aubert de Fontenay. Before housing the musée Picasso, the hotel was already well-known. It was leased to the ambassador of Venice, and it became the Central School of Art and Manufacture (and then the School of "métiers d'art"), and finally it was leased to the state in 1975. The restoration of the museum was completed in 1985.

A second restoration was completed in 2014. This is museum we visit today. A Beautiful new space.

 

Today, there are 203 paintings, 191 sculptures, 85 ceramics, and over 3000 drawings, engravings, and manuscripts in the museum (more  than 5000 pieces that would be display from time to time and exhibition to exhibition. Besides the personal collection of Picasso, the museum also has some works of Cézanne and Matisse.

I absolutely loved my visit to Musee Picasso in July 2015. It is beautifully renovated and the masterpieces are displayed with great artistic sense. I specially enjoyed having coffee on the rooftop Café sur le toit - the views are amazing.

Picasso Antibes
- Phil Gertzel
(4 Aug 2014 - 09:45)
The Picasso Antibes is a huge disappointment after seeing the Picasso Paris in Sep 2007. I have been waiting for it to reopen every trip since! One good thing about Antibes is the building and the current exhibition, a Russian artist, Stael, I think.
What took so long?

I thought the museum was going to open in June? I am so disappointed that I will miss it in my August trip. I totally agree with James Army that renovations should not take years. Please dont close so long next time! We will just try to catch the Picasso Museum in Antibes.
Open the Damn Museum
- James Army
(13 Jun 2014 - 09:15)
Hello:

Open the museum. We don't care about your renovations. We don't need them. We only need to see the works. Renovations and closure should last no longer than a month or two. Several years is totally ridiculous. Or is this to fund overpriced salaries of the museum administration? Show us the artworks!

They belong to artists and the public more than to expensive renovations.

Is there any way I can find out the opening date?
I am planning a trip to Paris for my birthday in May/June/July 2013. I am hoping to see this exhibition during my visit. Is there any way I can have advance warning as I am hoping to book accomodation & flights soon. For the moment I am flexible on dates but I would really like to visit this exhibition.

In preparation for the reopening of the picasso museum, I'm reading john golding's essays about this very great artist. To try to expand understanding will increase appreciation and of course the enjoyment will be wonderful seeing the collection set out in the redecorated setting; I feel this will be aglory of paris.
