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

At the 1985 opening of the Musée national Picasso Paris, two visitors observe the collection. Pablo Picasso's monumental 1923 painting, "The Pipes of Pan," dominates the plain white gallery wall, its two neoclassical male figures set against a simple background. To the right, a man in a white suit jacket and a woman in a patterned sweater stand with their backs to the camera, studying a smaller, classically-styled painting within an ornate gold frame. The gallery's lighting is bright and even, highlighting the visible grain of the film.
