A visitor walks past Pablo Picasso`s 1969 oil on canvas `Mousquetaire a l`epee assis`, right, and Edouard Manet`s 1866-1867 oil on canvas `Matador saluant` exhibited at the Grand Palais museum in Paris, Monday, Oct. 6, 2008. The exhibit matches Picasso paintings alongside the original works that may have inspired them. It cost a total of euros4.3 million (US$5.8 million) to cover fees like insurance and transport for works on loan from other museums, making it one of France`s most expensive, and ambitious, exhibits ever. Picasso`s masters will be on exhibit from Oct. 8, 2008 until Feb. 2, 2009. (AP)
