Picasso Museum

When it dies in 1973, Picasso leaves a considerable number d' œuvres coming back to his spouse and to its children. A law - payment in kind - that allows the heirs of the artist to pay their succession rights while yielding of the œuvres to the state, allows equally to envision the creation of a museum exclusively devoted to Picasso. This is in this perspective that the heirs of the artist accept leaving the state to choose the œuvres that will return for him before proceeding to divides for them and to the éparpillement of the collection. This thus 203 paints, 158 sculptures, 29 pictures reliefs, 88 ceramics, 1500 drawings, papers stuck, 1600 engravings, manuscripts, among all the œuvres, of often intimate character or carrying the track of its researches, of which Picasso never had not separated itself, that are selected and constitute the funds of the museum.
