Museo Picasso Málaga

The Pablo Picasso Museum is free on Sundays (two hours before closing), which is great, but expect big crowds. We arrived around 16:30 and waited about 30 minutes before getting in. Even though the staff tried to control the flow and keep some distance between groups, it was still very crowded inside. The exhibition was interesting to see, but I’m not a huge Picasso fan and don’t know much about his work, so I went through it quite fast. I personally wouldn’t have paid the 13,00€ entrance fee, but as a free visit, it was nice. If you’re really into Picasso’s art, it’s worth it. Otherwise, you can easily skip it.

Fascinating to see. The staff working the museum were very kind and helpful to the questions I asked about Picasso. They were excited to pass on their knowledge and appreciation. It’s a must in Malaga

Happened to walk by on a Thursday afternoon & decided to check it out as there was no line. Thought the 13 euros entry was a bit steep. Glad the collection on display was pretty extensive. It was also great to be able to take my time enjoying the experience without having to fight the crowd.

I visited the museum at 5pm and waited in a queue - I would advise purchasing tickets online however it is possible to purchase tickets after entering the museum. Backpacks cannot be taken in so it’s a good idea to travel with a smaller bag - there is a storage room operated by staff which was very simple and quick to use. There is also an audio guide so it is helpful to bring earphones. There are two Picasso collections with an additional medium/techniques room as well as two temporary exhibitions. There is also an archaeology floor which was incredibly interesting! I was there for approximately an hour and a half - I really enjoyed it and had a great time.

A very interesting Picasso exhibition with various artworks (paintings and sculptures) in the center of Malaga. Works by other artists are also on display. Nearby, there is also a related exhibition about Picasso's childhood and youth. On weekends Museums ar free of charge.

A must do when you’re in Malaga but you must book tickets in advance especially at the weekend, saw so many people turned away and disappointed as very popular. Great collection and amazing setting to discover the artist and his various work. Highly recommend and give yourself a few hours to visit

The Pablo Picasso Museum was not definitely not disappointing. We had a tour guide who had purchased tickets in advance (as well as time) so we did not have to stand in the long line. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable so hubby and I learned quite a bit about Picasso. Well worth the visit in Malega !

Marvellous museum - perfect. Superb collection of Picasso's works from just about all epoch's of his life. It does not cover 'everything' but there are wonderful gems here. This museum now a super attraction for Málaga and is a slap in the face for the city councillors in the 40's, 50's early 60's who derided and deprecated Picasso's art.

Recommended. A small comfortable museum. A wide variety of his styles. Lots of seating. Easy to see it all in an hour. It is almost mandatory that you buy your tickets online. Museum is very popular. Clean bathrooms. €10

I am not a big fan of modern art, so we went 'cause my husband wanted to go. The good thing is that we saved each 12 euros by going on Sunday after 5pm. It's basically free the last two hours on Sundays. The closing time depends on the season, so please check the museum website for the most updated opening times. I have also posted a picture of the opening times for those wanting to know... The museum has two stories, each one with a exhibition hall. Both show art pieces from Picasso at various stages in his life and career. The building itself is beautiful with a nice open courtyard in the center. There is free WiFi provided inside the museum.

Stopped here mid-day on Wednesday and surprisingly didn't have a wait. Two levels and located in the Buenavista Palace (ground beneath is an Archaeological site). Museum has 285 of Picasso's work. In addition, the Echo Of Picasso-exhibiting works from Artists inspired by Picasso. Took me about 90 minutes with audio tour but could've easily spent more time here. Great selection in the Gift shop and picked up a few items. Since Malaga is his birthplace thought this would be the largest collection-that title goes to Musee Picasso-Paris. A good showing of work from his formative years. Definitely worth the visit!

Not a huge museum/ art gallery. Very doable in two hours or so. I learned Picasso was a womanizer and many of his abstract paintings depicted the body parts of his wife and lovers. I also learned Picasso was able to switch to various styles of art, not just cubist. All the photos I've posted here are his work- quite impressive. I've never been a big fan of this artist, yet it was informative. Our tour company scheduled a visit to see this museum while we were in Malaga, as it was his birthplace.

I am giving four stars for the quality of the art inside. I can also say that the café and store are good and the arrangement and layout of the exhibits are good, and the audio guide is good. Ticketing however, is very much ungood. To begin with, tickets are very difficult to get, and you must buy them online to have any chance -- for us at least, and another couple we met, their website was not selling tickets even when tickets were available. We had trouble with our credit cards. once you get there, the queue can be more than a block long. If you don't have tickets, you wait in a different queue, and once you have the tickets you must get at the end of the other queue for more waiting. overall, this is a very annoying and a very inefficient system. We've been to two other Picasso museums before this one -- in Barcelona and in Paris -- and I suppose there was less demand in these because in both cases we just walked in, bought the tickets, and entered without any delays or queues. I do understand that there is more demand here in Malaga than in those other locations. Nevertheless, the Museum here needs to make some improvements to the efficiency of its system, as we saw many customers getting frustrated or even angry at the delays and the messed up admission process.

Would have loved to ed to give this 5 stars, but this fail is on Yelp. Museum closes at 6:00 not 8:pm.

Terrible experience, you get the thing to listen to but Picasso pictures don't have numbers so impossible. No Bueno

Picasso baby what else do you need to know. How can you not go see some of the work from one of the greatest artists in the world. You must visit if you have the opportunity.

A must-see when you're in Malaga. Children 15 and under get in for free so if you have kids, make sure you have their passports or ID cards showing date of birth, there is an additional charge of 1 Euro for the listening device. I don't recall prices for adults, but you can pay for just the Picasso exhibit or a little extra to view any temporary exhibits. For adults, the admission includes the handheld device which talks about various paintings. At the time of visit (July 2018) there was a temporary Warhol exhibit which was phenomenal. Some of the pieces on loan I had seen at their original museum sites. "Clouds" is always an interesting interactive piece with the silver rectangles floating in the air. Picasso was a prolific artist during his time - many of the works were drawings, paintings, but I was impressed with the ceramic pieces. He worked in many different mediums during his time! The building also has an interesting archeological site in the basement which I found fascinating with the original foundation of housing, roads, etc. Definitely check out when visiting Malaga.

Bumped into this (free) museum as I was exploring Malaga alone and it was so much fun! Very quite, be careful in taking photos as I was called out a few times but these pieces of art are quite exquisite. Lots of good learning that day!

The only thing better than a great Picasso museum with a Calder show is getting to see it all for free. We were lucky to show up on Sunday afternoon when the museum is free fr the last two hours (5-7). They had a great Picasso collection covering all the stages of his artistic development. They also had an exhibition that juxtaposed the works of Calder and Picasso highlighting the influence they had on each other as they changed the art world. This is definitely a "must see" in Malaga.

Pro: An absolute must! Being able to say that you visited an exhibit of one of the world's greatest artists IN HIS HOMETOWN is beyond a bragging right, to say the least! The Museo Picasso was the reason I drove back to Malaga from Marbella, and it was worth it. The audio tour offered was available in multiple languages, so chances are that your idiom is represented. As an added bonus, a dual exhibit of Picasso and Alexander Calder was offered. To view the works of two of the 20th century's most seminal artists was definitely with the money! Con: The Sunday I visited Malaga happened to be the day where a half-marathon was being run. It took a while to get around the race traffic. Bottom Line: If you're already in the south of Spain during touristy things, then you need this in your life!

Wonderful exhibition space, we saw three great shows. Picasso, picasso y Los Antigua's and Paola Rego, whose works stole the limelight, with their whimsy and humor.

Excellent museum with VERY long lines - make sure you buy your tickets on-line ahead of time. It is a wonderful museum with many rooms. It is well done & informative on his personal & professional life which almost always got enmeshed in his works. Whether or not you're a fan, this is a MUST to visit & learn about this extraordinary artist.

Glad we stopped by In our mind this museum is a must see attraction in Malaga, the birth place of the famous artist. The museum is a short walk from our hotel, easy to find with clear street directional signs. Admission is 9 euros and comes with audio guide. The museum is in a serene two story building. Absolutely no picture taking is allowed. The display includes the artist's 80 years of work. I was impressed with the somewhat bizarre Woman with Foliage sculpture. I have previously seen his masterpieces in Madrid and MOMA. This visit just added another viewing check mark. A long line already formed by the time we exited.

Space is smartly planned and easy to navigate through. They date Picasso's work in a series of styles by time period in clearly marked wings. Courtyard is well shaded and museum cafe is the perfect respite from a busy day in the city. Their Picasso collection is a must but they also offer other temporary exhibitions which you can bundle up with.

Driving here is problematic; best to park well away because the two nearby parking structures were allready full. So, just walk in or take a taxi. Be sure to ask for a discount, if you qualify. Professors or pensioners are not listed, but recognized with proper ID. I didn't realize his father was an artist as well as curator of the local art museum. Maybe the paintings aren't his best, but the audioguide is absolutely splendid mixing commentary with his own words. Well done! And while the new building is controversial because it replaced two historical buildings, don't miss the basement archeological ruins which were uncovered. I'd skip the cafe and the gift shop. Great museum to learn more about his lesser appreciated works...

Incredible museum in a breathtaking town. Since Picasso was born here, this felt like a must see place, and it was. It houses a unique collection of his work that was donated by friends and family of Picasso. Very unique pieces! It's a great way to learn more about the man and his art. You get headphones to wear so you can get more information on various pieces and time periods as you move throughout the museum. I can't recommend this museum enough. Go see it!

Super fun museum with a lot of Picasso's work throughout his life. The museum does a good job of describing how his life influences his work. Also, for students, there is a student discount! Make sure to show your ID at the front counter. The extra exhibits in my opinion are definitely worth it. The one we saw was about Olga Picasso and I found it the most intriguing exhibit. It was also very large.

Great exhibit of Pablo Picasso's birthplace. Unfortunately, I was not able to take photos( museum policy). Price was 10 euros which included Pablo Picasso exhibits and audio guide as well as Jackson Pollock. Must see if you come to Malaga.

Of course this museum houses mainly Picassos, but it also contains several works by up-and-coming Spanish artists, plus pieces by artists from other areas of the world.

Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga on the 25th of October 1881 and this museum celebrates the work of this visionary artist. The museum was inaugurated mainly due to the efforts of his grandson and daughter-in-law who donated a lot of pieces to the permanent exhibition The museum is located in the old town and has a conventional entrance for such an unconventional artist. The galleries are divided into permanent and temporary galleries with separate admission fees to both but there's a discounted joint entry ticket if you want to visit both The musuem is well laid out and though modern art isn't really my favourite genre of art, it was interesting to see the development of his style There is a comprehensive bookshop attached to the museum, selling everything Picasso A nice way to while some time away in Malaga

7.00€ entrance with student ID and then you get an audio guide as you enter! I enjoyed the way it took you through the timeline of the development of his style. Not too crowded when we went (during Semana Santa). The quotes on the walls really brought a personal touch to the different stages of his work. The audio guide had great commentary which makes up for the fact that this exhibit doesn't hold many of his most famous pieces. You really shouldn't miss the opportunity; If you are in his birthplace, you should go for it!! Find out how Pablo became the Picasso we know and love!:

Nicely housed and presented. We visited here in March and in July 2017. In March, the visit was much more enjoyable. We could stand and enjoy Picasso's work and there were very few others in the museum. In July, it was packed with tours and tourists, so much that with some paintings, we had to wait for others to move on in order to view them. If you possibly can schedule your visit for other than the summer months, I would recommend it. Currently, there are around 50 paintings on display, plus the dishes and linoleums. These had been added since March. The inside of the building is completely modern and everything is spaciously displayed. When you buy your ticket (6€ owner 65, 10€ regular for both Picasso + special exhibit), if you are carrying a backpack or bag ( not purse), you must check it. There is a gift shop immediately upon entering and there is a pleasant cafe in the courtyard. The restrooms are one level down and are very clean and modern. I am assuming because of so many visitors yesterday, the monitors were trying to make everyone follow the 'route' and not just wander around enjoying the art. We had monitors stop us 3 times and check our tickets. It is definitely better to plan a visit during a less busy month. Oh, and parking nearby is non existent. We always park at the very nice, clean garage at the port. It is about a 10-15 minute walk from the port parking garage, past the Roman theater, to the. Picasso Museum (tucked down a tiny street so easy to miss).

Not a bad visit, but too much walking and stairs. This would not be fine for the people with knee issues.

Lovely building in a lovely area. It's worth coming here so don't think my 3 stars reflect that you shouldn't visit. You should! I've been saving coming here till I had visitors from abroad. And when I did, we paid a visit. The 3 stars is because the collection of Picasso is small. It's a Picasso museum, so I was expecting heaps of Picasso art. Most of the art is by other artists. Barcelona has his better work.

Our group went to the Picasso museum and had a nice visit. I really enjoyed the film by an American that spent several months with Picasso. He explained a lot about the artist and gave us an insight into his world.

Malaga is the birthplace of Picasso and the museum highlights many of his significant works as well as items from private collections. The exhibit of Picasso's work comes from a private collection. Picasso wanted to share his work with his home city. Through the efforts of his daughter-in-law and grandson and the donation of their collection. The museum was constructed by an Andalusian authorities' political decision. Seeing this beautiful building itself is a special experience. Entry fee is 7,00Euros. A reduced fee of 5Euros for seniors and free entrance for handicapped and children under 18 (under 13 must be accompanied by an adult). An audio guide is available in 10 different languages, the 1Euro fee is well worth the cost. Check the hours on line since they change according to seasons and holidays.

If you've never been to a gallery dedicated to Picasso's work this is OK but not great. The collection is limited and doesn't convey the amazing development of one of the greatest and most important painters/artists of the 20th century. If you can, go to the Museo Picasso in Barcelona instead, which guides you much better and has a much richer collection too.

A little underwhelming. A lovely building, and the works are well displayed, but the collection is not very inspiring. A pleasant enough 45 minutes, but it's not going to give Tate Modern any nightmares.

My favourite newer venue in the city is the Picasso museum. On indefinite loan from the Picasso family, the exhibits are some of his rarer and more personal work, displayed in a fantastic old Palacio that has been painstakingly modernised. In addition to the galleries, there is an open courtyard, a reading room for small meetings of 40 and an auditorium for 172 people. The cool hidden garden at the rear of the café is also a lovely setting for evading the Malaga heat. Finding Roman ruins under the foundations surely doesn't hurt either as an interest point, and it's amazingly easy to get to in the heart of the old town.

This is one of the 'must sees' when you get to Malaga. Yes, there are various Picasso museums in Spain and even throughout the world, but Picasso was born in Malaga. The museum is clean, uncrowded, and next to the historic part of town in close walking distance to cafes, restaurants, shops, and more tourist destinations. Another reviewer mentioned the museum is not going to blow you away, but it's not meant to. It is a solid piece of artistic history, though and pleasant though modestly sized. Also, the gift shop is a great place to pick up souvenirs.

The Picasso museum in Malaga houses a real rare mix of Picasso's work and is a must for any Picasso fan but also for a less committed art fan. The variety of work on display here means there really is something for everyone. Whilst it isn't the biggest collection, the building itself and its impeccable renovation make this venue worth visiting. Take a moment to savour the interior of this lovely structure and make sure you visit the basement where they have preserved all the secrets of the buidling .
