The three are Grand Palais, Louvre and Musse D'Orsay. The exhibition is
<<Picasso et les maitres>> - Picasso and the Old Masters. Starts on the 8th
(yesterday) and runs for four months. It is about the influence of Old 
Masters
such as Titian, Velasquez, Manet, Goya, Rembrandt etc on Picasso and how he
created variations on themes by them. It is supposed to be the Parisian
Blockbuster exhibition this Winter.
