Museum
Since 1985 the museum has been housed in one of the largest private mansions in the Marais, the Hôtel Salé, which takes its name from the fact that it was built in the 17th century for a salt tax collector. It was established in 1979 to receive the gift from the Picasso estate and has since been added to by numerous acquisitions. It houses a unique collection of works by the great master (paintings, sculptures, drawings, engravings, ceramics, etc) spanning his entire career, as well as his personal collection (primitive art, paintings by Cézanne, Henri Rousseau, Matisse, Braque, Balthus, etc.).
