Paris’ Musée Picasso is an art gallery located in the Hôtel Salé dedicated to the work of Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, as well as his personal collections.
The Museum’s collection, put together by the artist’s family after his demise, is massive, including thousands of pieces between paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, engravings, correspondence, and manuscripts.
The Museum gets pretty busy, especially during the afternoons on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so we always recommend getting your tickets in advance.

The Musée Picasso mostly displays the paintings, drawings, sculptures, and prints in chronological order. However, you will also find pieces grouped together by theme. Other areas of the museum also provide context to the artist’s works through the inclusion of temporary exhibitions, prints, archive documents, and even works by cartoonists mocking Picasso’s work.
Aside from Picasso’s material, the museum also houses various works from his personal collections. You’ll find artists such as Matisse, Miró, Cezanne, Degas, Rousseau, and Derain.
