MUST SEE – THE PICASSO MUSEUM

Visit the museum built in honor of Pablo Picasso, a true son of Spain. More than 200 works of this larger-than-life 20th Century artist are permanently housed in the Palacio de los Condes at Buenavista, a magnificent residence chosen for its typical 19th Century andalusian architecture. This new museum is an intimate place where a number of paintings have never been displayed outside the family. Indeed, most belong to Christine and Bernard Ruiz-Picasso, close family members of the illustrious artist. Visitors can travel through time, admiring the early sketches of the young art student as well as the bold strokes of the genius’s hand of the 1970’s. All the styles and techniques that Picasso explored, from ceramics and paint to his unusual sculptured forms are there for the eye to behold. The museum is also a unique repository for a library, a bookstore and brief exhibitions of the legendary master’s immense talent. In time, this museum will surely grow to be an international center for the art of Picasso.
