A once valued $2.5 million Pablo Picasso painting, stolen years ago in Paris was recovered at the Port of Newark.

An individual only identified as "Robert" shipped the art work from a Belgium address describing package as an "art craft" worth only $37.

According to reports, museum officials came to the United States to confirm authenticity of the painting.

The painting is expected to be on display in May, according Pompidou.
