The Museu Picasso houses an extensive collection of artworks by Pablo Picasso, with a total of 4251 of his works.
It is housed in five adjoining medieval palaces on Montcada Street in the La Ribera neighborhood in the Old City of Barcelona. It opened to the public in 1963 becoming the first museum dedicated to Picasso’s work and the only one created during his lifetime.
The original idea for the museum came from Picasso’s lifelong friend and secretary-Jaume Sabartés, whom Picasso had given many paintings, drawings, and prints since meeting in 1899. Originally, Sabartés intended to found the museum in Málaga, Picasso’s birthplace. It was Picasso himself who suggested that Barcelona would be more appropriate, given his long-standing connections with the city.
