dedicates three floors to the artist's paintings, sculptures and drawings. Over 100 examples of Picasso’s work are exhibited from early student sketches, to the Blue and Rose period with his Seated Harlequin
, from the dramatic Cubist years right up to the year before his death in 1973. As well, 60 of Paul Klee’s works from 1917 onwards cover a creative lifespan of over twenty years.
