Nestled in the heart of the Marais, one of Paris's most vibrant neighbourhoods, the Picasso Museum is more than just a collection of art - it's practically a love letter to the creative genius of Pablo Picasso himself. Housed within the grandeur of the Hôtel Salé, this museum is where Picasso's masterpieces meet the epitome of French architecture, creating an ambiance that’s both chic and cheeky.
Here, you can saunter through rooms adorned with over 5,000 works that span his entire career - from his precocious Blue Period pieces to the zany, pioneering cubist works that look like someone threw geometry out of the window, in the most artistic way possible, of course.
Beyond the art, there's an intimate glimpse into Picasso's personal life - through a collection of his sculptures, ceramics, and, intriguingly, his doodles. It's as if the museum whispers, "Psst, want to see what Picasso did in his downtime?" It's a must-visit for anyone looking to tiptoe into the mind of a man who could look at a bicycle seat and handlebars and see a bull's head. Only Picasso, right?
