Museu Picasso, Barcelona

Make sure to buy tickets in advance and to book a slot! If you’re going during the touristy season like I did, you could wait up to 30 minutes in line to get in but it is absolutely worth the try. It costs around 17€ for an all inclusive ticket plus 90 minutes audio guide. Alternatively, you can book a guided tour. There’s plenty to see, beautiful building, and a big gift store that has anything you need from a museum gift store. All in all, definitely a recommended activity if you’re into art.

Far more than you expect in this museum, you see Picasso’s journey from young artist to profound one. Plenty of material to read and plenty of pieces to look at. We spent a good 2 hours here. The best feature of this museum was the way it displayed the countless practice pieces or different versions of Picasso’s work, so you could see the development of a piece and the process behind it. Really enjoyed it. Book before

Think what you may of Picasso, but he was a great, recognizable artist. As an artist, the exhibition inspired me and opened up new facets. Definitely a must when in Barcelona. The museum is beautiful and buying tickets is easy. The price was also completely ok. Of course it would be nicer if more of the artist's works were hanging there!

This museum is a little tucked away in the Gothic Quarter. Very reasonable entrance for seniors, €7.50 got you into the main exhibit and 2 interesting temporary exhibits. Given their value could not believe how close could get to artworks. There are basically 2 galleries devoted to Picasso, but several other prominent cubists etc represented elsewhere.

The Picasso museum has an extensive collection of works spanning over many decades from his youth to old age. The collection does an excellent job in demonstrating his artistic progression all the way through and illustrates how his later abstract works relates to his early figurative works. This is the most impressive Picasso collection I have ever seen and well worth a visit.
