Highlights
- Fundacion Picasso - Museo Natal - In 1881, Pablo Picasso, the most important artist of the 20th century, was born at No. 15 Plaza de la Merced. Declared an Artistic-Historical Monument of National Interest in 1983. The Birthplace and Museum now occupies the whole of the building. Since 2005, there is also another exhibition room at No. 13 of this same square. During its existence, Picasso´s Birthplace Museum has compiled a collection of works of art featuring over four thousand pieces by over 200 different artists. These include Picasso’s sketchbooks in preparation for ‘Las señoritas de Aviñón’, the only sketchbooks of this kind contained in a Spanish collection, dating from 1907. Its exhibition rooms contain various original objects, family souvenirs, and pieces made by the artist that document the family, social, and cultural ties of Pablo Picasso with Málaga. The birthplace of Pablo Ruiz Picasso also houses a specialist library and offers a continuous program of temporary exhibitions and cultural activities.

Small but powerful. - We enjoyed wandering in his home. The art was wonderful and the gallery well organized. It was also a short walk to another Picasso exhibit

A museum with interesting background on the artist - Reading other reviews it is hard to know what visitors were expecting to see. This is a museum that is telling us something about the circumstances under which Picasso lived as a child and the influences which helped to mould him. It is the building in which he spent time as a child, so it is not a custom built gallery for his work - quite the contrary. It has many interesting documents and artifacts on display with commentary. I confess that despite being an art lover (and artist) I am not a huge Picasso fan: I find his work interesting but not enjoyable for the most part. But he was a fascinating human being and this museum helps us a little to understand who he was and why he produced the work he did. This museum held my interest and I enjoyed the visit (more so than to the Picasso Gallery). Look on this museum as the first couple of chapters in the Picasso story......

Picasso birthplace museum Malaga - Audio commentary - excellent . Great overview of Picasso’s life and works as well as family influences . Only negative is that I could not download prepaid entry ticket and add to Apple Wallet which caused headache at Reception who reluctantly agreed to give us entrance tickets !

Worth a visit. - It was lovely to see so many different photos. The rooms told a different story which were very interesting. I loved the actual photos of the family.
It was lovely to see the books & papers which were in a concealed book case.

Picasso museum - The ticket redemption location wasn't listed correctly via link on meeting location, made it very difficult to find when there's language barrier.

Don’t bother - Well if you are selling to an international audience Don’t put an only Spanish speaking person on front desk. No Nintendo WONT WEAR IT IN 2024. Shows no interest in what you’re doing ie providing a service and certainly shouts no interest in people.. wrong job for you.
So that might put you off but one rallies on regardless. It’s small, so,if you claustrophobic…avoid. Stairs too.
Bit disappointing, so it’s a 2/5 I’m afraid. Anyway not for the sensitive as you’d be turned off at reception.

I sent 2 emails and... - I sent 2 emails and received no reply’s .
We could not find the location and we’re very disappointed in the venture . There was no need to skip the line as no one was there and no tour .
Thought we had skip the line tickets and guide for the Museum .
Had to pay twice

Well, that was a waste of time and money - No being able to use my Viator voucher.
And, i had to pay twice. Nobody wants to take responsibility for the error. I bought the voucher in good faith and Viator did not honour their commitment.
As soon as i figure i’ve wasted all the time i want to, i will delete your app.

Skip It - really did not understand Picasso's paintings. Not worth the visit unless you are truly an art lover and know that he paints very odd childlike paintings and then many nudes also.
