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, casually dressed visitors observe the works in a brightly lit gallery. Two women stand before a tall, Cubist-style painting of a stylized female figure, while to the right, another guest in a red t-shirt studies a large, complex abstract composition. The scene captures a moment of art appreciation in the new museum, located in the Marais Quarter of Paris.
