The Picasso Museum is the reference center for learning about Pablo Picasso's formative years. The genius of the young artist is revealed through the 4,251 works that make up the permanent collection.
The Picasso Museum, inaugurated in 1963, also reveals his link with Barcelona: a close and inseparable bond forged in his adolescence and youth, and which lasted until his death.
The museum's collection is very complete in terms of the work from the formative years of the artist's life; it is practically exhaustive up to the Blue Period. The museum also houses an important representation of works from 1917, and the Las Meninas series (1957), as well as a complete collection of engravings.
The Foundation's entry into operation on January 1, 2014 was the culmination of a project that opens a new stage in the history of the Picasso Museum and provides the institution with more autonomy and its own resources, greater administrative agility and the possibility of greater international projection.
From this moment on, the Foundation is the entity responsible for the direction, organization and management of the Museum and has a personality
own legal entity as a public sector entity of the local administration of Catalonia.
This organization adheres to the Barcelona Biosphere
Commitment to Tourism Sustainability.
