Roland Simounet renovated the Hotel Sale, originally erected in the 17th century for a tax farmer, to give the Musee Picasso a more sophisticated and solemn image in your Europe tour. The Picasso Museum has almost 4000 works by the artist on exhibit. These pieces are from his collection and include sculptures, prints, drawings, ceramics, engravings, and more in addition to his well-known paintings. Along with Picasso's own collection of works by other artists, there is also a collection of his own photographs. Each of these works of art was donated by his family after his death.
