I visited the museum after one of my excursions fell through and I was thoroughly impressed. I learned a lot about Picasso and his life in Barcelona and the entirety of Spain. I had no idea Picasso was Spanish, so imagine the depth of knowledge I learnt and art I consumed. Visitors all over the world will be pleased.

This museum was amazing! Really changed my opinion on cubism. Very well laid out and a good 2 hours needed. Many early works of Picasso. The building itself is also lovely. Exhibits are written in several languages, one been English but it still worth it to get the 5 euro audioguide.

Though not originally on our planned itinerary, we opted to visit here and was not disappointed. The vast array of items available to see was impressive. The evolution of Picasso’s art from when he started to later in life was quite interesting. Well worth a visit and not far from the Barri Gòtic.

Fantastic experience and well worth the visit. The audio experience was well worth the small extra charge as it explained the exhibits very well. The museum showed some excellent examples of just how talented Picasso was from such an early age, a must see if visiting Barcelona.

We found the museum in the Gothic quarter of Barcelona in a lovely picturesque street.Entry was only €7_50 for us as seniors.The building is well organised and you are ushered from area to area with politeness. The early works are explained and there are written information as you wander through the rooms, Unfortunately for us the lack of the more famous later abstract paintings did disappoint.We expect they are too precious and possibly in private hands so not on show here in any number. Still we think it is good value and we did experience some of Picasso and his work.

Definitively worth a 2 hour visit. To bring the museum to life, I HIGHLY recommend getting the audio because the people that work there…prefer for you not to ask them questions. I rather enjoyed the special exhibit better than the main exhibit because it was Picasso’s art dealer, a behind the scenes look…very interesting.

Science and the Charity painted by Picasso in 1897 when he was just in his mid-teens was one of the standout works we saw. Its beauty and accomplishment perfectly illustrate what a prodigious child artist he was, and a powerful harbinger of what was to come. During a couple of hours in the matchless museum it was fabulous strolling around admiring myriads from his oeuvre. First Communion, created when he was about 15 is another superb piece from his youthful days. At one stage Picasso was reputed to have said, a tad disparagingly, that all El Greco ever painted were men with pointy heads with pointy beards. But he often paid homage to the great Master and Man, after El Greco from 1899 is fine evidence of Picasso’s esteem for his predecessor. A portrait of his later wife Jacqueline, from the 1950s is one of multitudes he produced of his final model, that he finally married in 1961. Despite the great age gap of 45 years, the relationship lasted until the artist’s death in 1973 at the grand old age of 91. A further fabulous theme is from 1957 when Picasso commenced a series inspired by Velazquez’s masterpiece Las Meninas from 1656. From his exile in France the works continued his opposition to events occurring in particular during the brutal Civil War. A great art dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler is given a major exhibition. One of the greatest supporters and promoters of particularly Cubism, many of the works he collected are displayed. All the greats are here – Klee, Derain, Braque, Leger and Elie Lascaux. House of the Feather-Man by the latter is superb.

Beautiful collection, temporary exhibits, and building. The best art museum in Barcelona and the one you must see if only visiting one. Even non art enthusiasts should come here if just to see the important Picasso pieces for the historical and local significance. Not too large either - 1.5 hours if you go quickly or closer to 2.5/3 hours and you’ve seen everything with time to linger on your favourite pieces.

It was very average. It’s beautiful seeing such an iconic artist’s work. Recognising the famous works and learning about new ones was interesting. However, it wasn’t completely to my taste and that is just down to personal preference. However, I would definitely advise giving it a visit if you can.

We visited the Picasso Museum in Barcelona on our recent trip to Spain. This was one of the highlights of our stay in Barcelona. We saw several of his very early works and his series of paintings that Picasso painted in 1957 by performing a comprehensive analysis of Velazquez Las Meninas. Very interesting. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit. The museum is just the right size too - not too much to handle in a few hours.
