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

In a brightly lit gallery of the newly opened Musée national Picasso Paris, two women sit on a low bench to observe the artworks. On the high, off-white wall hangs a large vertical portrait of two men, alongside three smaller, dark-framed paintings. A low metal railing separates the viewing area from the wall. The scene is from the museum's inauguration in the Marais quarter of Paris in 1985.
