What to expect

Be inspired by the first steps of Pablo Picasso as an artist. The museum is the key to understanding the development of this young artist into a genius from 1887 to 1901. It is housed in 5 medieval palaces and was inaugurated in 1963 at the expressed wish of the artist.

The museum has a collection of 4200 pieces of art, we especially recommend:

  • Picasso’s full unfolding from a child up to the Blue Period
  • A representation of works from 1917
  • The series of las Meninas, 1957
  • A comprehensive print collection

El Born is one of the most important quarters in Barcelona for the Catalan history it beholds. Discover unique places like el Fossar de les Moreres and learn about the historical background this emblematic place carries. Walk around its narrow streets filled with artisanal boutiques until reaching to the precious basilica of Santa María del Mar (facades). Also, if you’re into fashion, you will not want to miss this quarter, since it has all kinds of fashion stores.
