Musée National Picasso
The Picasso Museum is situated in a 17th century mansion in the
heart of Paris. The collection was started in 1973, after the
French government accepted Picasso's own collection in lieu of
death duties, and was added to after his widow's death in 1990. All
the phases of work from the Paris-based artist are represented
including his paintings, drawings, ceramics, sculptures and even
poetry. Memorable works include the self-portrait
Paolo as Harlequinand
Nude in an Armchair. Most of Picasso's great paintings
however are owned by and housed in foreign museums or are in the
hands of private collectors. The museum is currently closed for
renovations.
