About Musée Picasso Paris
After Picasso's death in 1973 his heirs paid France's inheritance taxes with works from his personal collection. That extraordinary trove formed the foundation of the Musée Picasso, which opened in the restored Hôtel Salé in 1985.
The museum now holds more than five thousand works alongside Picasso's own collection of pieces by Cézanne, Matisse, Renoir, and Rousseau.
