Picasso Museum Pablo's soul

Rue de Thorigny 5, rue de Thorigny Paris 75003 +33 1 4271 2521 http://www.musee-picasso.fr

Born in Spain, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) settled in France after fleeing from Franco's régime. Even though he rarely returned to his native country, most of his paintings reflect his Andalusian origins. On the painter's death, his descendants left many of his works to the French state to pay for death duties. It is partly thanks to these works that the museum was founded in the hôtel Salé, originally designed by the architect Jean Boullier in 1656 for Aubert Fontenay, a collector specialising in the salt tax. Inside the museum, visitors follow the style changes of the great master and admire the creations from his blue, pink and cubist periods. Admission: adults 30F (EUR 4.57), 18-25 yrs & Sundays 20F (EUR 3.04), under-18s free Review © 2009, Wcities
