Opening of the Picasso Museum Paris (Musée national Picasso Paris), located in the Marais Quarter. Paris 1985.

Sunlight streams across a grand hallway in the newly opened Musée national Picasso-Paris in 1985, casting long shadows on the striking checkerboard floor. Located in the Marais quarter, the opulent interior features an ornate wrought-iron balustrade and elaborate stucco carvings. The corridor leads through a series of doorways into other galleries, while in the foreground, the silhouette of a sculpted bust with a spiky headdress stands in dramatic profile.
