Musée national Picasso-Paris

This monographic museum, which brings together the largest collection of the artist's works, is located in the majestic setting of the Hôtel Salé, a former Parisian mansion in the heart of the Marais district. Drawings, studies, sketches, sketchbooks, engravings, photographs, illustrated books, films … Everything has been brought together to offer a rich insight into Picasso’s different periods and many areas of artistic creation, and present his creative process, his techniques, his inspirations, and his private collections.

In addition to 5,000 works and 200,000 archive items, the place regularly hosts fascinating temporary exhibitions that approach the artist's world from a new angle each time.

Guillermo Kuitca Exhibition, Chapel (until 31 December 2027)

At the invitation of the Musée national Picasso-Paris, the Argentine artist Guillermo Kuitca has created a site-specific work in the chapel of the Hôtel Salé. Since his participation in the Venice Biennale in 2007, Kuitca has developed, in harmony with the architecture, a new language which the artist calls ‘cubistoid painting’, in which a series of intersecting lines unfolds directly on the walls, like folds on a plane, forming a new pictorial space.

Kurt Schwitters, Le Chaos-Monde 1918-1948 Exhibition (until February 07th 2027)
From 6 October 2026 to 7 February 2027, the Musée national Picasso-Paris presents the exhibition “Kurt Schwitters. Le chaos-monde. 1918–1948”, a major retrospective of an artist who stood apart from the Dada movement, from the constructivism and the German abstract art scene, and whose work has not been exhibited in France for over thirty years. Bringing together over three hundred works and documents – paintings, sculptures, blends, collages, drawings, sketchbooks, photographs, books and archives – the exhibition offers an immersion into an exceptional formal and conceptual richness world. It also highlights the link between Schwitters’ work to that of Picasso, particularly in their approach to experimentation, blend and transformation of everyday materials.
