Why Picasso Museum Barcelona matters
Picasso spent formative years in Barcelona, and this museum in the El Born district focuses on his early work. You can see him as a teenager painting like an old master, then follow the path toward experiments. It is a good place to understand the artist before the famous cubist work. The museum is housed in a row of medieval palaces.
Talking points
- The collection concentrates on Picasso's early years and his link to Barcelona.
- It is housed in a set of medieval palaces on a narrow street.
- The nearby El Born neighbourhood is great for wandering.
