As part of the creation of the Centre d’Études Picasso, the museum is presenting a major installation entitled " Si je mourais là-bas " composed of wooden and crystal stumps. This title references the words spoken by Apollinaire to Picasso from the trenches. The stumps, taken from the battlefields of Verdun and now gathered together, evoke not only the Great War of 1914–1918 but also all contemporary wars and the destruction and migration they entail.
