Pablo Ruiz Picasso, born in Málaga, Spain in 1881 was the co-founder of the cubist movement and one of the most famous artists of the modern era. If you are a fan of cubism and wish to experience an artistically historical landmark in Barcelona, visit the training centre of Picasso.

The Museu Picasso (Museum of Picasso) holds one of the most extensive collections of the famous artists works in the world, dating back to his childhood and adolescence, with such famous pieces such as Las Melina Blue, Science and Charity and First Communion. Located in La Ribera, the museum is part of five large medieval palaces, so the feeling of history and tradition is really forefront in this experience, and whatsmore is that temporary exhibitions are commonplace with works Lee Miller, Jean Hélion and currently Kees Van Dongen. With a stable and vastly attractive base for the museum, being Picasso´s work, and the constant addition of famous, infamous and variable artists hosting exhibitions, this outstanding museum is an experience well worth the visit. The museum is split into sections and offers a chronological view of the artists´ development, allowing the audience to understand his environmental changes, his changes in thought and direction and use of colours and in-picture dynamics. Picasso spent a great deal of time in Barcelona and his friend Jaume Sabartés donated a great deal of Picasso´s work to the muesum. His family also donated many paintings from Picasso´s childhood to the museum and today the reportoire stands at 3500 works of interesting, motivating and special art.
