Reviews

A quaint museum for any Picasso or general art enthusiast. Apparently it has the richest public collection of Picasso works in the world. It showcases not only many of his paintings but also many of his sculptures. Worth the visit if you're in Paris and are overwhelmed by the Louvre like I was. 🤭
