 | |  |  | Picaso Museum: Malaga's famous artist comes home | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
A new tourist magnet for Malaga is its Picasso Museum, opened in 2003. Pablo Ruiz Picasso, possibly one of the world's most famous artists, was born in Malaga in 1881. A few yeasr a ago Picasso's daughter offered the city 180 paintings and drawings at a knock-down price. Personally I really enjoyed the Museum. The main part is housed in a large sixteenth century courtyard building, with a distinctive tower. There is a modern cafe/bar too which opens out onto a cobbled courtyard with fountains and flowers. Outside the museum are some of Malaga's prettiest old streets. For those of you who get tired of looking at paintings, there are some well preserved remains of Roman and Phoenician Malaga in the basement. Not many of Picasso's well-known paintings are here. But there is a good mixture, from small drawings to big oil paintings. And a really good spread across Picasso's long life, from his earliest paintings as a fourteen year old, to his big crude canvases when he was ancient. Though some of his paintings I think are taking the p*ss, my favorite was one of his latest, the Muskateer (1972?), where his crude, quick brush strokes and vibrant colours come together really well. Open from early (10am) to late (8pm, 9pm Fri & Sat). Admission currently 8 euros for the permanent displays and the temporary exhibtions combined. Reductions available. No photos allowed within the museum - I got told-off for trying :-(( Leave a Comment Phone: 902 44 33 77Directions: calle San Agustin, is in the old part of the city, between the Cathedral and the Plaza de la Merced. Look out for the square tower to the building.Website: http://www.museopicassomalaga.org
