Barcelona And Pablo Picasso

By:


The city of Barcelona is known worldwide also thanks to a very special ambassador: Pablo Picasso. The intense relationship between the artist and the wonderful Catalan city was consolidated in a small number of years. Picasso moved, in fact, to the city with his family in 1895 and there lived until 1904, before moving to Paris.

The testimony of this profound link between Barcelona and the great artist is represented by the famous Picasso museum that manages to express the will to leave an indelible mark in this city that has always fascinated him. The museum was founded in 1963 in the palace Aguilar, number 15 of Calle Montacada (Barrio Gotico), and today is hosted by five palaces of the Middle Ages. A good idea is to book one of the appartamenti Barcellona in this area and enjoy your stay.

The Picasso Museum is one of the most popular and visited exhibitions in the city which consists of more than 3500 works, especially relating to the artists youth. As mentioned, in fact, Picasso lived there for nine years during the period of his youth. Two of Picassos famous masterpieces can be seen in the museum dating from 1896 and 1897: "The first communion" and "Science and charity." At the moment, acquisitions and donations help to broaden the permanent collection and pay for quality exhibitions.

In short, this is a museum that certainly deserves a visit especially if you are fan of the famous artist. What the Picasso museum offers is the chance to get closer to the period where Picasso was reasonably unknown, showing paintings never really shown before as they are not in the style of his famous masterpieces of the cubist period.

Some practical information: the museum is accessible by metro with the line I, red, station Arc of Triomf, with the line III, green, station Liceu and the IV line, yellow, station Jaume I. The hours from Tuesday to Sunday and Monday holidays, from 10.00 to 20.00 (closing days: January 1, May 1, June 24, 25 and December 26).
