          Fernande Olivier is another of the inhabitants of the museum to be found housed within the Picasso museum. She is known for having been Picasso's first muse and for having written two books about their relationship.

          The story of Olivier is so intense that it has even been recently re-told by the author Isabel Clara-Simó.

          Let it be known, however, that Fernande’s real name was Amélie Lang. Born in Paris on the 6th of June in 1881, she had a turbulent childhood and ended up in the custody of a sister of her mother, who wished to force her into marriage.

          She ran away and instead married a man who she later left in 1900 because he was maltreating her. It was at this point that she chose to adopt the pseudonym Fernande Olivier, in order for her identity to remain hidden.
