...completed only this summer, at a cost of nearly $10 million. Great care was taken to preserve the original palatial sand-colored structure and to hide, as well as possible, the air- conditioning and security devices.

They found out last week, during a series of official openings. In the first wave came French President Francois Mitterrand and representatives of the rival branches of Picasso...
