Léonce Rosenberg opened his art gallery in 1918,  but fascinated by Cubism, and considering himself as a leading avant-garde protagonist  between the wars, Rosenberg transformed his Parisian apartment where he lived with his wife and daughters  in honour of the artists he loved so much.

He  dedicated each room to a different artist. Twelve painters and sculptors were  displayed in the bedrooms, living room, dining room... By combining these new works with furniture that blended the old and the new, Léonce Rosenberg created an unusual blend of genres, crystallising the baroque personality of this art lover.

The Musée Picasso has managed to  recreate this original ensemble, bringing together this unique collection, which was dispersed in the 1930s following the financial crisis.

In a scenography recreating the art dealer's apartment, you can admire the  great names of cubism and abstraction: Picasso, of course, but also Ferdinand Léger, Giorgio de Chirico, Georges Braque, Jean Metzinger, Francis Picabia, Gino Severini... Some forty works are presented, including the Gladiators cycle and the Transparences cycle, both exceptional for their originality and style.
