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

During the 1985 opening of the Musée national Picasso-Paris, visitors explore the well-lit gallery space in the Marais Quarter. A tall, abstract sculpture of a head stands on a central pedestal, while on the wall behind, two large canvases are displayed: one a reclining nude in a landscape, the other a vibrant, abstract composition. Several smaller sculptures and guests complete the scene.
