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

Visitors admire the collection at the 1985 opening of the Musée national Picasso Paris in the Marais Quarter. In the well-lit gallery, abstract sculptures stand on plinths, while two large paintings, including a stylized reclining nude, hang on the rear wall. Casually dressed guests are dispersed throughout the space, some observing a row of slender sculptures set within a recessed display. The photograph’s warm color cast and visible grain are characteristic of images captured on film.
