About Museu Picasso de Barcelona
The Museu Picasso opened in 1963 with a foundational gift from Picasso's friend and personal secretary Jaume Sabartés. Picasso himself donated the major early series Las Meninas in 1968.
Spread across five adjoining Gothic palaces on Carrer Montcada, the museum offers an unparalleled view of Picasso's formation — from his teenage academic studies in Barcelona to his radical late reinterpretations of Velázquez.

Frequently Asked Questions
A small ask before you go
You've just explored one of humanity's greatest collections of beauty. Art has the power to move us, inspire us, and change how we see the world. But millions of people will never see beauty like this — not because the art isn't there, but because they can't see at all.
Preventable blindness, caused by conditions like cataracts and trachoma, affects people of all ages across the world's poorest communities. A small gift — for the cost of a museum ticket — can provide a simple surgery to restore someone's sight and transform their life.
