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

Sunlight streams into a grand hallway of the Musée national Picasso-Paris during its 1985 opening. Diagonal shadows are cast across a checkerboard floor of black and white tiles, while an intricate wrought-iron railing lines the corridor. The walls and high ceiling feature lavish stucco and plasterwork, including friezes and relief sculptures of classical figures. In the distance, a lone figure seated on a bench provides a sense of scale to the magnificent, sunlit space.
