Museu Picasso de Barcelona

This museum is tucked away in a little alley in Barcelona- it’s so easy to miss. In the U.S. there would be tons of signs pointing the way. In Spain it is seriously just another amazing museum tucked away in the midst of the beautiful city. Worth seeing if you are in Spain n a Picasso fan. I love the paintings from the blue period and my favorite Picasso painting is there – The Piano.

Yes, I have been there, and if youre a fan of Picasso like I am, you will learn, like I did, that the best Picasso paintings are scattered throughout the great museums around the world. This museum houses the left overs… so it would be a let down.. I suggest the Stuttgart Stadtgalerie in Stuttgart, Germany. A wonderful museum.

The entire museum is housed in a Gothic palace, and the architecture is stunning (as is typical of the rest of the buildings of Barcelona.) I love that it’s somewhat tucked away, hidden in a small-ish alley of the Gothic quarter. The collection spans a good selection of Picasso’s work, from his drawings as a child prodigy to his variations on Velazquez’s Las Meninas (my personal favorite of the museum.) Have a great time!

of course it’s worth doing. any opportunity to see picasso paintings is worth it. i will say that there are far better collections of his work out there, especially at Reina Sofia, but it’s still all about Picasso!

..esp. when you see the one painting he replicated what seemed like a hundred times in a hundred different ways..very cool
