Paris's Picasso museum reveals designers shortlisted for €55m sculpture garden project
Five teams of designers, featuring architects and landscape designers, will compete for the project, expected to be completed by 2030
The Musée National Picasso‑Paris has unveiled a shortlist of five architecture and landscape teams for the €55m project to create the world's leading garden of Picasso sculptures by 2030. The teams include Antoine Dufour and Wagon Landscaping, Lina Ghotmeh, Pierre-Antoine Gatier and Florence Mercier Paysagiste, NeM Niney et Marca Architectes and Atelier Jacqueline Osty & Associés, Stanton Williams, Atelier PNG, Vogt and Francesca Torzo, and Drubigny Architecte and Sarah Price Landscapes.
The winning team will be chosen by an international jury by January. The museum aims to display around ten major Picasso bronzes in a public garden, reshape a corridor into an 800 sq. m exhibition hall, and renovate part of the historical house to create spaces for a bookstore and cafeteria. The €55m project is supported by the artist's family, the city of Paris, and the Don Quixote Foundation.
