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

An interior view from the 1985 opening of the Musée national Picasso-Paris in the Marais Quarter. The brightly lit gallery features white walls and light-colored herringbone floors. On display are two paintings—a portrait and a seated nude—a recessed, illuminated case containing a drawing and small abstract sculptures, and a sculpted bust on a corner shelf. A simple metal barrier runs along the floor in front of the artworks.
