Musee de Picasso

20 August 2009 | Antibes

We fulfilled an ambition - to visit the Musee de Picasso, which was shut for renovation this time last year. It's in the Grimaldi Castle, previously owned by the royal family of Monaco, but passed to Antibes sometime before the second war. After the war, the then curator offered it to Picasso as a temporary studio; he took the offer up and then donated many drawings, paintings and ceramics to the museum, which was renamed in his honour.
So lots of lovely pictures and pieces. We both like the Profile of a Nude by Nicolas de Stael, and Joie de Vivre and Ulysses and the Sirens by Picasso. On the terrace we took the inevitable pix.
