If you are looking for information to help you prepare your visit to the Musée national Picasso-Paris, go to the museum's general website.
How do I search the platform ?
This digital platform allows you to search all CEP resources in a cross-disciplinary manner.
It is, however, possible to restrict the search to one or more of the collections you wish to explore, using the facets located below the search bar.
You can also broaden your search to include the portal's editorial content: articles, essays, podcasts, etc., by checking the “include website content” box.
On the search results page, other filters can be used to refine the results: by status, author, date, place of creation and type of document.
It is also possible to select items with an image, with a text description, or even works currently on display in the museum's rooms at the Hôtel Salé.
