Museo Picasso, Málaga

Picasso’s birthplace—an apartment block in Málaga—has been converted to a foundation (fundacionpicasso.malaga.eu) that organises exhibitions and educational projects in his name. However, there is also a series of rooms displaying mementos of his family life, photographs and some of his prints and drawings. There is a much bigger collection of his works nearby in the Museo Picasso Malaga, which opened in 2003 in the Buenavista Palace. It holds 285 works donated by members of Picasso’s family or held on permanent loan and includes some of his early academic studies, his cubist phase, the classical paintings of the Twenties, and some of his last paintings from the Seventies.
