Picasso Museum BarcelonaThe Museum is dedicated to one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, the creator of Cubism Pablo Picasso (25.10.1881, Malaga - 8.04.1973, Mougins, France). It is located in the five medieval buildings on Carrer de Montcada. Providing more than 3800 works, the museum is one of many places in the world where you can see works by Picasso, and that is why it does not include the most famous works, focusing primarily on the early years of artistic work and the time, which Picasso spent creating in Barcelona. The exhibition also omits the initial work of Picasso's cubist period (from 1907), but these can be seen in some temporary exhibitions. Not only a rich collection, but also the possibility to see the old courtyards property and free entrance every first Sunday of each month and other days of the year encourage many tourists to visit the Picasso Museum.
