★★★★★a month agoMy first stop in Barcelona and I’m so glad it was! What an incredible display of Picasso. I spent so much time exploring each of the rooms and had one of my favorite experiences of my life. Picasso is one of my all time favorite artists and this is a HUGE collection of his works. Loved all of the sketch books included in this display as well and his “rough drafts”. Highly highly recommend.

★★★★★3 weeks agoA must-visit while in Barcelona! The Picasso Museum offers a fascinating look at Pablo Picasso’s early life and artistic development. It was incredible to see how his style evolved over the years, and the collection is beautifully curated. The historic building itself adds to the experience, making the visit even more special. Whether you’re an art lover or simply exploring Barcelona, this museum is well worth your time. Tip: The museum is closed on Mondays, so be sure to plan your visit accordingly.
