Hotel Salé
The Hôtel Salé is a former city palace in the style of a Hôtel particulier in Paris . It's at 5 rue de Thorigny in the 3rd arrondissement . Today the Musée Picasso is located there .
history
The building was built by Pierre Aubert, a salt tax collector , between 1656 and 1659. The nickname Salé (dt. Salted) is derived from the activity of the client . As a result of the affair and the trial of the finance minister Nicolas Fouquet in 1661, Aubert was also ruined and owners changed frequently.
From 1668 to 1688 the palace housed the Venice embassy . In 1829 the new Ecole centrale des arts et manufactures (now École Centrale Paris ) opened in the Hôtel Salé.
The building has belonged to the city of Paris since 1962 and has been a listed building since 1968 . Extensive restoration was carried out between 1976 and 1979 , and the Musée Picasso moved in in 1985. After further renovation work from 2009, the reopening took place on October 25, 2014.
