Museo Picasso Malaga
Museo Picasso Malaga (Palacio de Buenavista, Calle San Agustín 8, Málaga) — this museum, funded by the Junta de Andalucia with the support of heirs of the Andalucian artist, is the fulfilment of a lifelong dream of the Pablo Picasso. A fact recently confirmed by his daughter-in-law, Christine and his grandson, Bernard, the principal driving forces behind the project, who explained that for them it is the result “of the people of Málaga’s passion for the artist”. In gratification for these feelings, both decided to donate or hand over part of their collections to the art gallery.
Christine and Bernard Picasso have placed 204 pieces of work from their private collections at the disposal of the Picasso Museum in Málaga. According to Carmen Gimenez, the museum director, these are pieces that cover “all the creative periods of the artist’s work”, and include creations from his youth to those which he signed at the end of his life. Admission: €8 (adults), €6 (seniors), free for children 16 and under, and the disabled. Hours vary – see the Museo Picasso’s website for an updated schedule: www.museopicassomalaga.org
