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

Visitors gather in a brightly lit gallery during the 1985 opening of the Musée national Picasso-Paris in the Marais quarter. They observe a large neoclassical-style painting of two men, one playing a pan flute. Among the attendees, a man in a distinctive mauve-brown suit with graffiti-style writing on the back stands before the artwork. Others are seated on a bench or the floor, while some converse near the painting or by a doorway, absorbing the atmosphere of the new museum.
