 Picasso museum by col_hall6
Pablo Picasso is universally known, but what this museum provides is a fascinating insight into this very clever man.
Even if you are not an art lover this museum will still interest you.
The museum is split into different numbered rooms, that form a circuit. Try to follow the sequence, as it shows you how Picasso developed, from a young artist, into a great painter showing the many different periods, such as the blue and pink periods and the reasons why.
Best time to visit - Early, as it gets crowded or during the afternoon siesta. The first Sunday of the month is free admission.
Opening hours - Tuesday to Saturday 10 - 8, Sunday 10 - 3. Monday closed. Leave a Comment

I have seen many museum dedicated to Picasso but it’s never enough, isn’t it? The museum is housed at 5 large houses that used to be palaces between 13th and 15th century. It opened in 1963 and houses 3000 pieces of his work. You will enter from their common courtyard, get you ticket, leave you backpack(for free) and go up the open stairway for the entrance (pic 1). Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) came to Barcelona at the age of 13.
The collection starts from the first paintings of Picasso and continues in chronological order. My favorites here are: Science and Charity, The Embrace, The Frugal Meal
It is opened Tuesday to Sunday 10.00-20.00, the entrance fee is 9 euro. Photo/video isn’t allowed.
Opposite Picasso museum you can visit Barbier-Mueller Museum (pic 4) which is situated at Palau Nadal and houses Pre-Colombian Art of pre-Hispanic cultures of Latin America. It is open from Tuesday to sunday 11.00-19.00(Sunday till 15.00) and the entrance fee is 3euro Phone: 93 319 63 10Directions: at Barri Gotic, you will see signs leading you there, Closest metro station is Jaume I(line 4)Website: http://www.museupicasso.bcn.es

 Outside the Picasso Museum in
Barcelona by karenincalifornia
Even though there was a long queue to get in, once we were in, it did not seem that crowded to me. I had plenty of opportunities to browse slowly if I wanted and to get close to the smaller paintings and drawings.
The other unique thing about this museum is the collection of Picasso ceramics, which he created later in his life. I had never seen Picasso ceramics before visiting this museum. Serving a dish of paella in one of those ceramic dishes would certainly get attention! Leave a Comment

But we came back, some hours later, at around 6pm. As the museum closes at 8pm there was still enough time, and surprisingly NO queue anymore. Anyway, the museum was still crowded, but acceptable. So we got in and enjoyed it and it was worth it. Although I am no absolute Picasso lover, this exhibition about his first years, how he started to paint etc was really interesting. In one ofthe last halls you find a really work of him: "Las meninas". The "original" work is from Velasquez, and Picasso did more than 50 works of parts of it plus one entire work of it in his cubistic style. Very interesting was as well a slide show putting parts of the Velasquez work and the Picasso works one above the other to show how Picasso changed it. I found this very fascinating, and I must admit that I even got a new idea of Picassos cubism (as I never liked it that much before).
We stayed around 1 and a half hour inside, but you can easily spend more time in this museum. Besides there are often temporary exhibitions as well (they cost extra entrance fee, as well on this free museum day)
I couldn?t take any photo inside as it was forbidden. A lot of things were forbidden in this museum, these security guys really bothered. E.g. I was waiting in a really wide empty floor and reading in a map when one of them told me that it is forbidden to STAND there!!!?? Why is that? Anyway, it is worth to visit this museum, even if you are not a fan of Picasso, I would say. Leave a Comment

 Museu Picasso by Jehcekah
About three full rooms of the museum are dedicated to Picasso's obsession with Velazquez's masterpiece, Las Meninas. Picasso painted each portion of the portrait in his own style and the simliarities and differences in the paintings can keep you entertained for awhile. The museum isn't terribly large, but I would allow yourself about an hour to and hour-and-a-half to view everything. That is, unless you are very interested in his painting and you spend more time examining them. The museum has a gift shop containing millions of Picasso, Dali, and Gaudi souveniers. There are also very clean toilets and plenty of benches to rest your feet.
----
There were a couple of kids in the museum while we were there. I did notice that they seemed quite bored with most of the paintings. Although, they did seem to find some of Picasso's more surreal works fairly funny. Despite this, I don't really think this is a place to take your young children. Leave a Comment

It is hard to stay what is more beautiful, the paintings in this museum, or the building itself!
The museum is located in one of the nicest streets of Barcelona, with lots of beautiful old houses. That gives a great contrast to the modern paintings. While you look at them you always get a chance to look through the windows and admire the building.
Pablo Picasso lived and studied in Barcelona for some years he was born in Malaga) and you can see from his pictures that he loved his city! But then, who does not love Barcelona! Many paintings in the museum are from times, when Picasso was still very young, starting from his early attempts with portraits of his family and also featuring his blue and pink periods.
The entrance fee of 5 Euro is well worth it and quite cheap compared to other museums in Barcelona. Don't miss it! Leave a Comment

The Picasso Museum is a hit when visiting Barcelona. I learned so much about this artist- what a prodigy he was as a young child and how his art evolved over his lifetime. The museum is located in a group of palaces in the Ribera district. It is a beautiful location with a very picturesque courtyard. It is said that the museum holds the greatest collection of his work and Picasso himself would donate his work to the museum, although never visiting it himself (would not come in to the country of Spain when under Franco's rule). Note: if you are under 25 you can get your ticket for almost half the price (6 euros instead of 10).
