An Artful Collaboration

Written by Admin on September 6, 2008 – 2:11 pm -

Three of France’s leading museums are joining forces in October to mount an unprecedented series of exhibitions devoted to the life and work of Picasso.

For the first time, the Grand Palais, the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay in Paris will work together to run simultaneous displays of paintings by the Spanish master.

Nearly 200 of his works will be on show, many on loan from some of the world’s most prestigious collections. The majority will be shown in the Grand Palais, where an exhibition of 120 Picasso canvasses will hang alongside works by painters including Velásquez, Goya, Rembrandt and Van Gogh.

It’s hoped the combined display will break all attendance records for an art exhibition in France.
