Museum Wednesday - Picasso

First stop today was the Picasso Museum, located about 10 minutes from our apartment. Here we saw the permanent exhibition, as well as the temporary exhibition of Alexander Calder and Picasso’s work. This only opened on Monday, so we were fortunate to see it. Malaga is the birthplace of Picasso, and so was always close to his heart. He wanted to ensure that his native city had access to some of his works.

The displays in the galleries of the Palacio de Buenavista are designed to examine issues related to important aspects of Pablo Picasso’s body of work. Themes include the sense of origin, of roots, and of family and the importance in his work of those closest to him and everyday life. This collection encompasses almost eight decades of Picasso’s artistic output.

Below are some significant works produced over much of Picasso’s lifetime.En savoir plus
