Journées du Patrimoine 2025: a free tour of the Musée Picasso in Paris

Paris is a true paradise for art lovers, with its (many) museums offering year-round access to masterpieces of art history, paintings, sculptures and photographs by the world's greatest artists... Monet, Rodin, Niki de Saint-Phalle, Delacroix, Matisse, Cartier-Bresson, Rembrandt, Morisot, Klimt... Not forgetting, of course, Pablo Picasso.

The latter even had an entire museum dedicated to his art and career, in the Marais district of Paris. The Musée National Picasso-Paris pays tribute to this genius of painting, and regularly organizes exhibitions on a variety of themes to help visitors discover his artistic legacy.

The museum also takes part in the capital's major cultural events, such as the Journées du Patrimoine. The Journées du Patrimoine (JEP for those in the know) is a not-to-be-missed event on the Parisian calendar. A great celebration of culture andhistory, with visits and events at France's most important sites. Museums, religious buildings, places of power, department stores, railway stations, theaters and gardens all take part in these open days, which appeal to all publics.

We're looking forward to seeing you on September 20 and 21, 2025, for the new edition of the Journées du Patrimoine, to visit the Musée Picasso free of charge. A great opportunity not to be missed!
