Pablo Picasso was an artist. He was born in 1881 in Spain. But he lived in France. He died in 1973.

There is a museum in Paris. It has around 5000 of Picasso’s paintings and sculptures. This museum is in a large house. The house is from the 17th century.

People renovate the museum. The renovation costs 52 million euros. One million people visit this museum every year.

Difficult words: was (past of “be”), sculpture (something which is made of stone or wood), renovate (to fix something and make it better).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
