Picasso Museum Barcelona es una recomendación en la guía curada de Almanac Barcelona.
El Museu Picasso, en el corazón de La Ribera, ofrece la lectura más íntima de los años barceloneses de Picasso: una colección excepcional de obras tempranas (1895–1904) que revela el pulso del joven artista antes de convertirse en mito. Instalado en cinco palacios medievales de la calle Montcada, el recorrido combina piedra, patios y luz con un diálogo sutil con el modernisme catalán y el espíritu de tertulia que aún se intuye en el entorno de Els Quatre Gats. Imprescindible para comprender cómo Barcelona modeló su mirada, y para detenerse —con calma— ante sus deslumbrantes variaciones de Las Meninas.
I absolutely loved Picasso. And if I may dare to say this, I loved it more than Prado! It was very easy to understand Picasso's progression of thought and art work as he grew in life. His works evolve from simple sketches to advance arts and there is certainly a reflection of his life's events impacting his art works. The audio guide worked well, though I really wish audio guides would somehow simply start narrating…
Great art and story telling. Well presented. Clean and well maintained facilities. Staff are all courteous and well informed. You can buy tickets from 9AM to 2PM if you want to visit on the same day, same hours. After that time tickets normally are sold out. It's recommended to get the tour with the audio version to appreciate the experience more.
Very good museum. Not many visitors, spacious halls, very well made audio guide, I recommend it. I have not seen Picasso's youth works before, they are amazing, he was a child prodigy. It is interesting to trace Picasso's development as an artist and changes in his work.
