Paris city authorities and the French culture ministry are backing the park project, which was conceived \u201cthrough dialogue with the Picasso family, and notably Paloma\u201d, the artist\u2019s daughter, Debray said.<\/p>\n
It will be a \u201cmagical\u201d place to get away from the bustle of Paris, she said, adding that the public \u201cwill be able to interact with the works\u201d and enjoy a cafe-restaurant.<\/p>\n
Paloma Picasso told AFP that the project is \u201cfull of life \u2013 like my father\u201d.<\/p>\n
She said it was a \u201cbeautiful\u201d way for Paris to honour the artist, who viewed the city as \u201chugely important\u201d in his life, having spent the years of World War II there and installing a workshop.<\/p>\n
The museum, located in the Marais district of Paris hugely popular with tourists, is also to build a new wing to double its space given over to temporary exhibitions.<\/p>\n
Debray said the extensions \u2013 including the park \u2013 would cost some \u20ac50 million ($100m), to be funded by corporate sponsors and the Picasso family.<\/p>\n
Work on it is due to start in 2028.<\/p>\n
