The supermarket in Essonne, France, is hosting works from the National Museum of Modern Art in an effort to provide more people access to art.
"We can take the children easily here while it is often difficult to go to Paris," said Aline Vidal, who was with her granddaughters, ages 5 and 6.A general view of the Pompidou Centre modern art museum taken on June 7, 2009 in Paris.
"It is not the collection of the Centre Pompidou but that of France, because it is national, and we share it with all French people, wherever they are," Lasvignes added. "I was very moved to see that even supermarket employees were looking at the painting with big eyes. There was a lot of emotion," Carillon told ABC News.
And indeed, Picasso himself reportedly said:"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." Some therapists agree, saying there's a psychological benefit in making art accessible to the masses.
