Picasso Museum closes for two years renovations

Home / Travel / Picasso Museum closes for two years renovations

Citing a need for modernization, officials on Aug. 23 closed the Picasso Museum, an extremely popular Paris museum dedicated to the works of the late modernist painter. The museum is expected to reopen in 2011 after two years of renovation work designed to redo the electrical and security systems as well as expand the cramped quarters.

The good news is that not all of the museum’s works will be lost; a simple Paris metro pass will allow you to visit other museums, where officials hope to hold frequent exhibitions and discussions of Picasso’s work while the renovation work takes place. The work is expected to cost roughly 20 million Euros.

Travelers in other cities can also see Picasso’s legendary works. Many Rome museums have significant works by Picasso on display, along with museums in other cities such as New York, Madrid and Barcelona.
