Musée National Pablo Picasso - La Guerre et la Paix
The Pablo Picasso national Museum is located in the former priory of Vallauris, in the space of the Romanesque chapel. It is located in the same enclosure as the Magnelli museum and the Ceramics municipal Museum. While residing in Vallauris from 1948 to 1955, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) chose the chapel to install a monumental mural composition, War and Peace. After Guernica (1937) and Massacre in Korea (1951), Picasso executed this political fresco in 1952, this work remains highly topical: the artist denounces the horrors of war with passion and inventiveness and bears witness to his commitment to peace.

Programme
Rediscovering War and Peace by Pablo Picasso
To recount the genesis of War and Peace, a political fresco with universal appeal created in 1952, the Alpes-Maritimes National Museums of the 20th Century are launching a new educational initiative in the form of a large-format projection. Aimed at all audiences, this immersive format is designed to enrich the visitor experience and reveal the multiple meanings of this pacifist manifesto.
This exhibition is accessible in French and English, as well as to people with reduced mobility. It has been produced with the exceptional participation of the Centre Pompidou.
