Although I had made the reservation a day before, in this very busy tourist season, I had no problem getting back on time. Thank you very much.
The only problem was the audio guide, which was not available all day.

Permanent collection and temporary exhibitions co-existing harmoniously in a beautiful building. The fact that there are no big queues makes this experience one of the highly recommended in Paris. It can be combined with a nice walk in the surrounding area, even though the museum per se has a nice gift shop, garden and coffee shop.

The ease of access and the way that the Security team were respectful and courtious . The lauot of the museum was better than expected and thoughtful. Although we didn't go into the upper levels we were amazed at the number of creations by Rodin. I think we would need to return to Paris again and take the tour again

Why visit Picasso Museum Paris
A location like no other
Go for the artwork, stay for the venue! The museum is housed in the Hôtel Salé, a grand 17th-century mansion where you can experience how the Parisian gentry lived in the late 1600s. The edifice is a prime example of Mazarin architecture, characterized by its Italian Baroque influences.
Picasso, the genius that was
If you knew Picasso only for his Cubist works, it’s your chance to get to know the artist above and beyond. With over 297 paintings, 368 sculptures, 17,000 photographs, and some 2,00,000 pieces of archives on exhibition, it’s Picasso-fest down there!
The avant-garde connection
One of the pioneering artists of the Modern Era, Picasso was interested in avant-garde arts like photography and comics. You can see his work at the museum and even his collaborative projects with leading photographers like Brassaï, Robert Capa, and Henri Cartier-Bresson.
By the written word
Want to know what went on in the head of a genius like Picasso? At the Picasso Museum, you can skim through 100,000 documents of the artist's original written archives, which is like a sneak peek into his creative process!
Things to know before booking your tickets
