The Picasso Museum contains an impressive collection of more than 5,000 works by Pablo Picasso including paintings, sculptures, engravings, prints and drawings. For its quality and scope as well as the range of art forms it encompasses, this collection is the only one in the world to present both Picasso’s complete painted, sculpted, engraved and illustrated œuvre and a precise record—through sketches, studies, drafts, notebooks, etchings in various stages, photographs, illustrated books, films and documents—of the artist’s creative process
