Theatre Picasso is a major exhibition running into spring 2026, marking the centenary of Picasso’s The Three Dancers, which was produced in 1925.
The exhibition brings together around 50 works by the influential artist and coincides with Tate Modern’s 25th anniversary year. It is running at the museum on London’s South Bank until 12th April 2026.
At the heart of Theatre Picasso in the George Economou Gallery is The Three Dancers. It features alongside Tate’s entire collection of works by Picasso, with paintings including Weeping Woman 1937 and Nude Woman in a Red Armchair 1932.
The exhibition also showcases prints, drawings, sculptures, textile works and collages, interwoven with key loans from leading Picasso museums in France. Striking imagery created by the artist is on display, including the wool and silk tapestry Minotaur 1935, in the UK for the first time, on loan from Musée Picasso, Antibes.
Other art mediums featured in the exhibition include the 1959 film The Mystery of Picasso by Henri-George Clouzot, which follows Picasso in his studio as he creates works in real-time. Contemporary choreographers and dancers have been invited to take part in an accompanying programme.
Discounted exhibition tickets are available for groups of 10 or more people if booked at least two weeks in advance, subject to availability.
