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

Visitors fill a spacious, brightly lit gallery during the 1985 opening of the Musée national Picasso Paris in the Marais Quarter. High, white walls serve as a backdrop for several of the artist’s large, colorful cubist paintings and a white abstract sculpture on a plinth. Guests are scattered throughout the room, observing the artworks in an atmosphere of quiet contemplation. In the foreground, a woman in a patterned blue skirt walks toward the viewer.
