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

At the opening of the Musée national Picasso-Paris in 1985, three women observe paintings in a well-lit gallery. A large, vibrant Cubist reclining nude by Pablo Picasso commands the wall on the left. In the center, a woman in a royal blue top holds a notepad, while two other visitors admire the art. The gallery’s light wood parquet floor, laid in a herringbone pattern, is visible in the foreground, along with a simple bench and a low barrier rope.
