La Nuit Blanche is a not-to-be-missed event on the Parisian cultural calendar. Every year, as night falls, the capital's museums open their doors wide, inviting art lovers to a nocturnal immersion in their most fascinating collections. It's the perfect opportunity to enjoy an extraordinary artistic experience, to discover or rediscover major works and temporary exhibitions, all in a unique atmosphere, enchanted by the magic of the night.
The Musée Picasso, housed in the historic Hôtel Salé in the heart of the Marais district, is one of Paris's cultural gems. Opened in 1985, the museum is dedicated to the immense work of Pablo Picasso, the undisputed genius of modern art. It houses over 5,000 works and tens of thousands of the artist's personal archives, offering an impressive panorama of his creative output. From the first sketches of his youth to his last canvases, the museum invites us on a fascinating journey through the different periods of Picasso's life.

Exhibition
The show, "Henry Taylor. Where thoughts provoke," unfolds across two floors and thirteen rooms, bringing together around a hundred works — paintings, sculptures, installations — through which Henry Taylor probes the richness and complexity of the human experience. Whether depicting friends, loved ones, strangers, or public figures, his compositions offer a vivid, deeply human portrait of our times. Taylor creates an original, expressive, and tactile body of work—powerful in scope—weaving visual narratives that fuse personal journeys with collective realities, merging individual experiences, shared memory, and dialogues with art history. His reimaginings of influential artworks, including pieces by David Hammons, Philip Guston, and Pablo Picasso, reveal how Taylor seizes the past to reinvent the present.
The museum will stay open until 1 a.m., with last entry at 12:15 a.m.
