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

A high-angle photograph captures the bustling scene during the 1985 opening of the Musée national Picasso Paris. Visitors fill the sunlit, cobblestone courtyard of the grand, classical-style building in the Marais Quarter. Dressed in the fashion of the era, people queue behind a rope stanchion or walk about in small groups. The bright sunlight casts long, sharp shadows of the crowd and architecture across the uneven stones.
