'Picasso in Image' presents a unique thematic tour among the museum's collections focusing on the appearances of Pablo Picasso in front of the camera. From art films and archives to documentaries shot during the artist's lifetime and more, these moving images show the different facets of his life and his work: father of a family, genius creator, Mediterranean hedonist, tireless worker, a cheerful personality and loyal friend.

It is the artist himself who is placed at the heart of the journey, punctuated by the common thread of audiovisual extracts. Next to these animated images are works from the collection echoing each of the projections. The second floor of the museum will aim to present the different facets of the artist's personality, from the first amateur films shot in the 1930s, to documentaries made in the early 1950s which show him at work in his studio in Vallauris, up to the television reports of the 1960s, where you'll discover an artist at the height of his glory.
