| Alex, outside Museo Picasso Málaga |
Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga, so it makes sense that a museum dedicated to his work was built there. Although he didn't return to his birthplace since he left (at the age of 19), you can find tributes to the artist all over the city. Located in the Buenavista Palace, the 16th century Renaissance building is apparently very typical of the architecture of the period and it's stunning. Photography wasn't permitted, but you can see photos of it here.
In addition to well over 100 works by Picasso himself, there were plenty of other exhibitions that we spent hours looking at. When we were researching places to visit, some websites suggested that Malaga didn't have a lot to offer. We would disagree and this museum was definitely one of the highlights.

Sounds amazing! I love visiting art museums. I just read a bbc news article this morning about a picasso painting that was auctioned off.
ReplyDeleteAww. I love Picasso. There was an exhibition in the Seattle Art Museum I have been to. It was just great.

ReplyDeleteI really like Alex's outfits. Where does he get them?
ReplyDeletethese are the kinds of places i love, seeing his works of art in his home town is perfect.
ReplyDeletethis photo has a very relaxed vibe, like it
Sounds like a wonderful place to visit. Too bad you can't take photos of the Picasso and other exhibits there. I'm sure it's a great experience to see them up close, though. So, sending some postcards? :)
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - I think his shirt is from Uniqlo, he loves that place. I'm pretty sure he got the sweater from the Gap.
