Traveler reviews
Katrina trautman
★★★★★3 months agoHighly recommend doing a tour with a tour guide as knowledgeable about Picasso as ours was! It was truly wonderful getting to hear about the inside workings of Picasso's paintings. Highly recommend this museum of Rosengart's treasures. Spoiler: Picasso even sketched Rosengart and those are on display (as of June 2026).

★★★★★Edited a month agoExcellent private collection museum with an entire floor of Pablo Picasso works. The entrance fee was pricy, but it was worth it. We weren't impressed by the basement collection. At the entrance you can buy postcards / copies of various museum paintings. Overall, excellent experience.
