Picasso's "Dove of Peace" symbolises the hope for a peaceful future. The studio exhibition at the Picasso Museum is dedicated to the genesis of this iconic work. On display are around 30 lithographs, etchings and linocuts from the museum's collection, which shed light on Picasso's exploration of the themes of "war" and "peace". The exhibition offers a deep insight into Picasso's artistic reflections and his view of global political changes.

The exhibition offers a new look at the works of the expressionist artist on his 150th birthday. In the exhibition, guests will encounter paintings, pastels, drawings and lithographs. These include a hand-coloured lithograph.
The works often deal with the harmony between man and nature as well as unconventional lifestyles.
The exhibition also critically scrutinises the depiction of female nudes and the influence of the colonialist perspective of Mueller's work.
