A new Picasso Exhibit opens today at the Columbus Museum of Art.

It's called Picasso: Experimentation, Change and the Great War. It focuses on the works of Picasso between 1912 to 1924; with special emphasis on the years during World War I.

I had a chance to speak with executive director of the Columbus Museum of Art, Nanette Maciejunes about the exhibit.
