The museum is organized into three different sections: painting/drawing, engraving and ceramics. All the works are disposed in order to appreciate the different periods of this great artist, from the early years, through the training period, until the Blue period. We can appreciate as well all Picasso's reinterpretations (more than 50!) of Las Meninas of Velázquez.
Moreover, the museum represents a good example of Catalan civic gothic style, composed by 5 different palaces date from the 13th-15th centuries.
Now that you have a general idea about this incredible museum, if you are planning to come to Barcelona on vacation, or if you already live here, you really should visit this great collection from 20th of March till 28th of June.
The Museum Picasso will house the exhibition "Picasso/Dalí. Dalí/Picasso", where we will be able to explore and appreciate all the connections and relationship between this two spanish artists. In fact, these two artists had a remarkable impact on each other. They were both involved in the Surrealist project, lived in first person the horrors of the Spanish Civil War by producing works expressing the human suffering and pain caused by the conflict. Moreover, after the Civil War, Dalí started to reference Picasso in his work.
As you can see, there are a lot of meeting points between this two main Spanish artists, and we will disocover them through paintings, drawings and sculptures from Picasso and Dalí - some of which really rarely loaned - from 25 museums worldwide. It is a great occasion to appreciate in an only museum two of the greatest artists of all time.
