Museo Picasso

In Barcelona’s Museo Picasso you can find a stunning, although sporadic, collection of the master’s work across five sprawling gothic palaces.

It is one of the symbols of Barcelona, bearing witness to the intense relationship between the artist and this city. Yet another massive injection of public money has gone to ensuring it stays that way.
