Everyone associates Pablo Picasso with Paris, but truth is he spent his formative years in Barcelona and this beautiful museum makes sure visitors understand that. The exhibit begins with those formative years, displaying many of his early, non-Cubist, more representational paintings. But it moves on to the later periods, especially the melancholic Blue Period. But the absolute highlight of the... more

This museum is a waste of time and money. I have to admit, I am not a big fan of Picasso, but this review goes far beyond the museum itself. It started before my wife and I even went in to the museum - I took a picture. A security guard gestured with a hand signal to stop because as... more

While you can't purchase Museum tickets in advance online for some reason, you can arrange in advance to take part in a free English guided tour. Strongly recommend the tour which is only offered at specific time/day - check the website. Plus, when you arrive, there will probably be a line and you can probably skip it by having signed... more

A very average museum experience especially if you compare to Musee Picasso in Paris and you consider that admission and bag check will set you back $30 each. more

his work is scattered around the world. But here's a good collection of some of his works, esp his earlier art. Join the guided tours and one will know how he evolved from painting the normal to painting the imaginary. Checking on wikipedia, I was surprised to find that the most expensive paintings were not his, but then i suppose... more

You should go to this museum if: 1. You are a diehard Pablo Picasso fan. OR 2. You can go on the first Sunday of the month when it will be free. OR 3. You love art and understand that you will not see many of Picasso's best work, but will still appreciate seeing much of his earlier work and... more

This museum mostly has Picasso's minor works-- if you are going to some of the major museums of Spain, it's just not worth it. And it's expensive! more

Great examples of Picasso's early work. The paintings he did as a teenager are amazing! It's definitely worth visiting, but not as comprehensive as the Picasso Mueum in Paris. more

The Museu Picasso is housed in a complex made up of five interconnected medieval palaces which added to my enjoyment of the work of this very famous artist. On March 9, 1963 under the name of The Sabartes Collection the museum opened its doors to the public. In 1970 Picasso himself donated nearly 1,000 more works that had been kept... more

Many of the works here are unsigned - donated by Picasso from his very, very early years - like before he even went to art school. This interesting intellectually, but definitely don't make this the only Picasso museum you ever visit. There are no masterpieces here. In fact, if these works hadn't been donated by the artist himself, I would... more
