I was impressed not by the pictures, but by the story of the museum. Picasso stayed in the city during the Nazi occupation of Paris. One day, German soldiers came to him and the officer learned how the great artist was doing. The Germans did not really like Picasso because of his paintings about Guernica. This picture tells of the death of a large number of civilians during the Spanish war. German aviation bombed the city. Just on the table lay a postcard with a reproduction of this picture. The German officer looked at it and asked: "Did you do it?" Picasso did not hesitate to answer: "No, you did it".
It was a brightful day. We walked through the squares and parks of old mansions, visited the Picasso Museum, the art galleries, had lunch at the Place des Vosges, visited the Place de la Bastille and completed the walk by the princely and quiet boardwalk of the River Seine, where live swans and peace reigns.
