Description

As part of the Picasso Celebration 1973-2023, the Musée de l'Homme  presents a new exhibition on the relationship between Picasso and Prehistory. Through a selection of some forty works, most of which were produced in the inter-war period, it highlights the artist's fascination with the art of this period and the creative inspiration he drew from it. This infatuation is revealed in paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings, some of which have never been shown before. Visitors can also listen to the account of photographer Brassaï, a friend of Picasso's, and discover a collection of animal skulls and bones that Picasso kept in his studio.Showing from 8 February to 12 June 2023.

Musée de l’Homme - Muséum national d'histoire naturelle

After six years of renovation work, the Musée de l’Homme reopened at the end of 2015. The museum occupies a wing of the Palais de Chaillot. It invites visitors to reflect on the very essence of humankind: Who are we? Where do we come from? What is our future? The vast 2,500 m² Galerie de l'Homme showcases the permanent collections - some of the richest anthropology and ethnology collections in the world. Don't leave without seeing the glass roof by Davioud, a vestige of the former palace of 1878!
