An exhibition of Pablo Picasso's paintings will be held in Beijing from March 20 to May 20, 2005, exhibition organizer said at a press conference on Thursday.

The 265 paintings, valued at an insurance premium of more than 100 million yuan (about US$12.1 million), will be displayed in a royal garden near the Forbidden City, said the organizer Beijing Radio.

This is the largest display of Picasso's works ever held in Asia.
