Museu Picasso
The Museu Picasso (Picasso Museum) in Barcelona, Spain, has one of the most extensive collections of artworks by the 20th century Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. This is one of the most popular and most visited museums in Barcelona. The museum is housed in five adjoining medieval palaces in Barcelona’s Barri Gotic. The original idea for the museum came from Picasso’s lifelong friend, Jamie Sabartes. Picasso had given Sabartés a great many paintings, drawings and prints during the course of their friendship. Originally Sabartés had planned to set up a museum based on his collection in Malaga, Picasso’s birthplace. It was Picasso himself who suggested that Barcelona would be more appropriate, given his long standing connections with the city. Barcelona is hot city with great nightlife. Plan your summer holiday there, find a lot of nice beaches.
