About the Museum
This museum, which gives concrete form to Pablo Picasso’s desire to offer his native city some part of his legacy, is a fitting tribute that magnificently conveys the depth and variety of his genius. The collection’s 233 works (many donated by Christine and Bernard Ruiz-Picasso, the artist’s daughter-in-law and grandson) are augmented by a further 43 on temporary loan and cover the vast span of his protean career. Captured here are his earliest academic studies, his personal take on the classics, his Cubist experiments, his explorations of ceramics, his re-workings of the Old Masters and his late paintings of the 1970s.
