The National Gallery of Ireland presents 'Picasso: From the Studio', an exhibition opening 11 October 2025 that explores Pablo Picasso's private creative spaces across his career. Featuring sixty works, including paintings, sculptures, and ceramics, the show reconstructs the artist's studios from Montmartre's Le Bateau-Lavoir to the Mougins farmhouse, using archival photographs as ghostly backdrops.
