Museu Picasso

The museum consists of artwork from Picasso through his life. It’s a good museum if you’re interested in Picasso. However, the employees are terrible! After waiting in the utterly long line I presented my student ID to enter earlier today and the person working the tickets did not accept my very clearly valid student ID (which was accepted at every other museum in Barcelona) so that I can enter for free. FYI the only reason I didnt buy my ticket online is because they do not offer the student price so I had to wait in line. I had to pay the under 25 years old fee, and for what? The ticket person insisted I was not a college student, even going as far as saying «I don’t know what subjects you are studying.» Seriously?! In additon, all the other people had terrible attitudes. After I purchased my ticket and before I could enter the museum the women ran up to me from behind, just as I was about to entet, and told me to take off my back pack, and that I cannot enter with it, without offering me a place to put the backpack, she simply said I cannot enter. What?! I said in additon to being hustled into buying a ticket I still cannt enter this museum?! Seriously?! It was not welcoming at all! I felt like I was not wanted there at all. This was the worst museum experience I have ever had and it totally off put my entire time in the museum enjoying the artwork. They need to hire new, more hospitable people because I will NOT be back! BEWARE!

Don’t miss this.
Free admission every first Sunday of the month and every Sunday from 3−7pm
I went on a Sunday during the free hours and the line is long, but thankfully it was only about a 30 minute wait and at the front desk you receive a timed ticket. The tour is pretty self explanatory if you follow the map. You go through Picasso’s early works, through his progression as an artist, and present time. As you view the work there are brief stories on Pablo.
Allow an hour to completely view the entire museum. Also, they do not allow photos whatsoever.

Really great museum. Has numerous works by Picasso including sketches. He really has a great sense of humor. We bought tickets online the day before but I don’t that is necessary if you plan to go in the morning. No cameras or bags! There are lockers where you pay 50 cents? to hold your jackets and whatnot. Overall, it was nice but as most mentioned, they don’t have all his works here.

Grande déception pour ce musée.
Il fait partie des endroits les plus visités de Barcelone, au même titre que la Sagrada Familia apparemment. Et pourtant…
Nous avions pris des billets à l’avance, malgré que c’était le moment le plus creux de l’année. Et nous avons bien fait ! Beaucoup de queue à l’arrivée.
De même, nous avions choisi un horaire en fin d’après-midi car conseillé pour avoir le moins de monde possible. Idem, bien fait, car c’était déjà quand même bien bondé.
Le mieux? Nous étions sur place avec le fameux dimanche gratuit toute la journée (le première du mois), nous avons fait exprès d’y aller le samedi pour y voir moins de monde… Et bien vu ce que nous avons subi, je n’ose imaginer à quoi cela ressemblait le lendemain !!
Bref vous l’aurez compris, les conditions de visite sont désagréables: il faut programmer sa visite au quart d’heure près (oui j’ai pris une visite à 16h45…) des jours à l’avance, pour quand même avoir sur place un monde fou.
Le prix est correct, avec l’audio-guide: 16 €. Celui-​ci n’étant pas indispensable même si vous né parlez ni espagnol, ni catalan, car au vu de sa nullité, il vaut mieux se contenter des explications générales sur chaque salle, disponible dans chaque entrée en anglais.
En effet, cet audio-​guide justement, est particulièrement nul: il est très très très long en commentaire devant les œuvres (jusqu’à 7 minutes il me semble !), ce qui fait que tu passes plus de temps à écouter l’audio-guide, qu’à prendre le temps de regarder, de vraiment regarder, et te laisser imprégner des œuvres. En prime, il répète souvent, très souvent, les mêmes choses. Le même contexte historique, le même contexte personnel, etc, comme si vous n’aviez pas écouté les commentaires précédents… C’est pénible, surtout vu la longueur finale !
Les lieux ont l’air magnifiques, enfin l’extérieur, l’intérieur n’étant finalement quasiment que de grandes salles blanches. Cela né me gêné absolument pas vu qu’il s’agit d’une exposition (et pas d’une visite du bâtiment) mais je n’ai pas du tout compris les commentaires précédents. On né voit PAS le palais. Genre, jamais ou presque !
Et l’installation à l’intérieur laisse clairement à désirer pour une visite agréable: il faut attendre de changer de «palais» pour ENFIN avoir un banc où s’asseoir. Mais il est dans un couloir de passage et pas devant des œuvres… NORMAL. Bref, apprêtez-​vous à devoir contempler des œuvres, parfois vraiment grandes qui nécessitent clairement du recul, mais debout, à piétiner, pendant 2h. Oui, car en allant assez vite (car on en avait marre), on y a passé 1h30…
Et l’exposition, alors? Très décevante, enfin, pour nous.
Enormément d’œuvres académiques. Un peu, c’est chouette, je m’attendais à voir l’évolution dans sa peinture. Mais en fait non, il y a beaucoup de salles avec les œuvres académiques et un peu de ce qu’il peint à côté, et puis on fait un saut dans le temps avec l’ensemble des Las Meninas, sa série sur le tableau de Velasquez .
Allez, j’exagère, entre temps on a deux ou trois peintures de la période bleue, aucune évocation de la période rose, beaucoup d’esquisses de sa période très sexuée et une toute petite salle avec quelques peintures de sa période cubique (que j’ai beaucoup aimée, du coup).
Bref, j’ai été déçue car je né m’attendais pas à ça: beaucoup, beaucoup d’académique, beaucoup, beaucoup d’esquisses, un peu de sa période «finale», obsessionnelle, et à peine de sa période la plus glorieuse.
Ceci dit, je comprends tout à fait que ce musée puisse contenter un public; en revanche je déconseille l’audio-guide, il vaut mieux un bon guide papier par exemple, qui parlerait un peu des œuvres.

This is a beautiful museum. We were lucky to be able to go on a Sunday, and timed ourselves perfectly so that we reached the ticket desk right after 15:00, making our tickets free. We still had to wait 20 minutes for our allotted time, and we looked around for the temporary exhibition but it was closed off. Once we got in, we were extremely excited by the wealth of paintings that were included in the museum. None of his very famous works, but the rooms were filled with paintings that traced his evolution as an artist– sketches, paintings, sculptures, and so on. I was shocked by the quality of the work Picasso produced as a young teenager. I was glad to see that the exhibit had paintings from my personal favourite, his Blue Period. After, we even went in search of his old hangout, Quatre Gats, to see if they still used the menu he designed.
The only downside is that the museum is extremely strict about the ban on photography in the exhibit, which is understandable but sad. Yes, we can buy postcards and souvenirs in the gift shop, but they’re so expensive! Either way, an excellent idea for a Sunday afternoon.

Museu Picasso is for art nerds only. If you get a kick out of seeing an artist’s process, their influences, and where they started, that’s what you’ll get here. But if you’re the kind of person who gets disappointed at a concert when a band you barely know won’t play their hits, stick to seeing Picasso in the big museums. These are some serious B-​side tracks here.
I could barely contain myself when we stepped into the room of Picasso’s interpretations of Velázquez’s Las Meninas. There are over 50 paintings in which he reimagines the masterpiece, seeing it all through his particular lens. And then he goes and reinterprets El Greco’s work and I nearly lose my mind, I’m so excited. It got REAL nerdy in here, let me tell you.
But if you’re not a nerd, there is definitely one thing you can learn and take away with you — Picasso was a child genius and could’ve painted any classical master under the table. He knew all the rules, and then he broke them, becoming the legend we know today.

Wonderful museum in the old part of Barcelona. Consisting of 5 palais joint together to make this museum possible, you will see a large collection of mostly only early art works of famous Picasso there. Quite a large amount was donated by the artist himself and his family. Really impressiv show of just how Picasso was a child genius from early age but also was incredibly good at the classical way of making art at that time!
I came really early one Sunday at shortly past 10 a.m. when they open. There were not many people at all then but it got more and more crowded by the minute. Later I saw a long line at the entrance, be prepared that you might have to wait up to 1 hour to get in.
Except for the audioguide being quite broken (volume was almost impossible to set), the German audioguide was really bad because the speaker was obviously German but could not say Spanish names of villages and people right at all and had some kind of strange defect. I was mad, because it cost almost 5 € extra to get this thing! The info given was really well prepared but better get the English audioguide instead of the German one!
The collection is shown in chronological order, but some rooms I almost missed, because the room numbers are small and rather high up at the doors and the plan you can take from the museum is also printed small.

Hmmm. We arent schooled in art so we left the museum wondering what people see in his doodles. His early work as a teen was quite interesting to us, but his later works leave us questioning what we’re not seeing in him. It seems that everything and anything the man drew was kept and exhibited here. The building itself was more interesting that the exhibits, to be honest. So unless youre a real fan, skip it.

If you are interested in seeing his famous work that everyone is familiar with, then I do not recommend this museum.
This museum exhibits his earlier work, work that is not the norm you’ll see at the MOMA.
I thought it was fantastic to be able to see his other works that are not so familiar.

Pablo Picasso’s a bit like marmite, most people either love or hate his work. It took me to discover the Artist’s history, life and aims before fully appreciating the art. A prolific, seminal creator who’s credited with influencing the course of art history and there’s a huge body of his work in this Barcelona museum.
I didn’t initially want to queue up and pay in to visit Museu Picasso. However my friend insisted, so we did and I’m glad, as it was marvellous. The art’s arranged chronologically starting from his talented childhood when Picasso painted in a realistic style and flows through his Blue, Rose, African and Cubist periods. There are originals here and also copies as Picasso’s art is scattered around the world. It’s a busy museum but well laid out and easy to navigate.
I’d advise anyone who visits Madrid to go to Museu Picasso but I would recommend reading a little bit about Picasso first. It requires an understanding of what he was trying to achieve to fully appreciate his art. Then have walk through this museum-​gallery. Once you apprehend, you’ll stand in front of Picasso’s ‘Guernica’ and possibly think it one of the greatest, most brutal and emotive pieces of art ever created. Following this, go and visit the Museo Reina Sofia to see the real thing in the flesh.
Although, if you don’t do any research before going to Museu Picasso you’ll still probably come away with a greater admiration, respect and appreciation of the Artist. This is the sort of museum that achieves that and will likely leave you wanting to find out even more about Picasso, his life, art and work.

Having been to many, many museums over my time, I will say that this one has been one of my absolute favorites. It is not huge like the one in Paris that houses thousands of works by the artist (and his famous friends), but it does do an interesting thing – they place his works chronologically. Even without an audio guide, you can easily grasp how Picasso’s work changed from when he was a young student drawing accurate portraits of people and landscapes to the style many of us better know him for, which he developed later in life – distortions of the human form accented by raw and vivid color. It truly was a pleasure to visit and see how much talent he had, how he tried his hand at so many types of artwork (not just painting) and art styles. Tip: Free every Sunday after 3 pm or the first Sunday of the month all day, but prepare to wait in line to get your free ticket (audio guide 5 euros extra) and then come back about an hour later with your ticket (which has a specific time stamp).
Bottom line: Great museum!

This museum was a little different than all the other museums that I have been to.
First of all, it’s tucked away in a narrow alleyway, that if you don’t walk with your head up, you will probably walk right past it. There’s a small unassuming plaque on the wall at head level with the name of the museum. It blends into the street and it’s not what I expected for a museum for THE Picasso.
Secondly, BUY YOUR TICKETS ONLINE IN ADVANCE.
The super long line down the alley was what made me suspect we were at the right place. We were in line for about 20 minutes before reaching the ticket office inside – and we were lucky.
We decided to go with tickets to the collection and the temporary collection, which was Salvador Dali at the time, which was 14 euros per ticket.
Thirdly, NO PICTURES.
Just lock all your stuff away in the lockers provided because they do not allow pictures in the museum.
This museum was a little different than all the other museums that I have been to. Each room is set up chronologically, and has a long description on the wall describing the current time period of Picasso’s life, and what to look for.
What I didn’t know about Picasso was that he actually painted «normal» traditional works. And as you progressed through the museum, you see how each phase of his life changed drastically and you start to recognize the more «Picasso» works of art towards the end of the tour.

a museum dedicated to the great pablo picasso! picasso was one of the most famous and influential spanish artists of the 20^th century, as his works include paintings, ceramics, sculptures, and more.
having read on Unilocal that the lines can be very long, we decided to come early, right around the time of opening, so that we wouldn’t have to spend precious minutes waiting to purchase a ticket. adult admission was € 11, less if you pre-​booked online, and a bit more if you wanted to add the audio tour.
the museum was actually created from five separate medieval palaces, and linked together to create one large complex with many connecting rooms. at the time we visited, several exhibition halls were under construction, so everyone was packed into the rooms that were open to visitors.
although it felt very cramped at times, we were able to make our way from one room to the next, since the flow/​ordering of the exhibits was easy to follow, admiring over 4000 works of art by señor picasso. being a 20^th century artist, some of his works definitely looked very modern, very different from most styles and works that i observed in spain which were several centuries old!
in total, we spent about two hours going through the entire museum, and about a half hour perusing the picasso-​branded souvenirs at the bookstore/​gift shop on the ground floor. we purchased a few things for friends back in the states since this would be one of the few places we could purchase special picasso items.
this is a definite must see for anyone who is a picasso lover! if you know you’ll be in barcelona on certain dates, definitely pre-​book your tickets online to save time and money!

So Museu Picasso is part of this Barcelona art passport thing where you can pay a certain amount and get into 6 museums for free. Since the passport was on sale for 30 euro, my dad and I got it, and literally went museum hopping. We went to five museums, with Picasso being the last museum we saw.
After seeing this museum, I have a deeper respect and admiration for Picasso. I didn’t really know his work that much, and I don’t really consider myself a visual art snob, but after seeing his vast array of work, I was really impressed by his skill. It shows works from all areas of his life, which was really eye-​opening to me. They had the section of works that Picasso did during his «Las Meninas» analysis phase, which I found really interesting, because I saw the original painting in the Prado a few days later. Additionally, there was also a Dali and Picasso exhibition going on at the same time, which was educational.
Of all of the museums we went to that day, Picasso’s really caught my attention the most, especially since this was after seeing 4 museums and I was mentally exhausted. I wish I saw this museum first so I could muster up more energy to soak in the work, but it’s okay. If you are in Barcelona definitely take some time to go to this museum. And, if you want to see art museums in Barcelona, definitely purchase that art passport ticket. Just don’t do what I did and see 5 museums in one day.

If you crave Picasso– this is the museum for you. Some lesser seen works and it steps through the history of his life. A few more well know works and a lot of variations of that work. Very interesting.
Currently the special exhibition is Dali and Picasso a comparison. I’m a Dali lover so I had already seen this at the Dali museum in the States. It’s the same exhibition. Oh well. However– if you haven’t seen it, it’s worth seeing how two different men can interpret the same work. Very mind bending.
The building itself if interesting as you wind through the exhibits. Great building.
Now find this museum is a little challenging. It’s in an alleyway. There are a few signs but not enough. Keep looking or ask around. It can be worth it!

This is the best layout of a museum ever, you see the progression of his work and it is really interesting! The line looked really long but moved very quickly and it did not feel crowded inside. So if you see it and it is halfway down the street, don’t be detered. It was absolutely fascinating to see the transition as you moved through rooms from student to artist to very different crazy artist :) His work is amazing to see in person and this is a must stop if you love art. Spent about 1.5 hours inside and was well worth the price of admission. It isn’t well marked from the outsid but the couryard inside is beautiful, they have a gift shop of course, and there are audio guides etc. No pictures allowed inside.

Muchos extranjeros me han dicho quedar decepcionados con las obras expuestas en el museo, y creo que es porque no sabían lo que iban a ver.
El Museo Picasso de Barcelona es un fantástico lugar para descubrir Picasso y ver porque se hizo tan famoso.
Las obras están ordenadas en orden cronológico, y empieza por los primeros años de vida, antes de que viniera a vivir a Barcelona, con sólo 14 años. Se puede apreciar que en ese momento tenía un estilo muy académico y realista, la expresión de la cara era lo más importante, reflejar la psicología de la persona.
Después a su llegada a Barcelona vemos las grandes piezas «La Primera Comunión» y «Ciencia y Caridad», 2 obras maestras del artista, que si pensamos que las hizo con tan sólo 15 – 16 años uno se cae de culo!
Su paso por Madrid, «Els 4 Gats», su primer viaje a París, la época azul… Y vemos cómo su obra se va transformando. Aparecen las cámaras fotográficas que ya plasman la realidad tal y cómo la vemos, y por tanto busca una forma de mostrar la realidad de otra manera, y con sus compañeros se adentran en el cubismo…
Se puede ver también grabados, esculturas y piezas de cerámica, y descubrir que también revolucionó este arte!
Puedes haber estado en Madird, en NY o París y haber visto las grandes obras del artista, pero el Museo Picasso de Barcelona creo que es esencial para descubrir la trayectoria del artista.
Además el museo está situado dentro de 5 palacios góticos, así que incluso puedes descubrir dónde vivían los adinerados del s. XIII!

This was a very small museum featuring a lot of Picasso’s early works and not as much from his cubist phase. They do have a small area dedicated to his blue period, though. It’s organized somewhat chronologically, which gives you a refreshing perspective into his personal journey and progress as an artist.
It took me about 1.5 to walk through it as an art newb.
(On an unrelated note… I AM still trying to figure out the name of the restaurant nearby with an outdoor patio that I stopped at right after for their fresh seafood platter and pitcher of sangria. If any of you know the area well, please let me know what it could be!)

Amazing collection including early works. The building itself is amazing.
I think we spent about 2 hours in here and thanks to a tip from a fellow Unilocaler, saved the entrance fee on a free Thursday evening (7−9pm). Thanks!

A lot of Picasso’s early work was inspired by a lot of sights and scenes of Barcelona. It was really amazing to see how he perceived and interpreted many images of day to day life in Barcelona. Also incredible to recognize his inspiration for early work after having seen and experienced Barcelona for myself.
Most of the collection was stuff he painted in Barcelona and Paris so the collection wasn’t complete. Mainly there was a gap between when he was 20 and 35 where his style changed drastically. 4 stars instead of 5 because I really wish I could have seen the evolution.
Give yourself at least 2 hours. Maybe grab a coffee before you come too because they don’t have a café here.

I knew it was a smaller museum, so I was worried about cranking through the space in 2.5 hours. It took less than 2 to comfortably see the entire property. They featured a lot of his earlier works, in his formative years, and in my mind, surprisingly few of both the Rose period and his Modernist (Cubist) period.
The flow of the spaces isn’t necessarily intuitive, and with the chronological flow of pieces, it really needed to be. Side rooms jumped timeframes, and felt like afterthoughts. The area for Las Meninas was definitely the best organized, as it guided you through his thought process, and it was fascinating, but most of the greatest hits are elsewhere on display, leaving the character building pieces, but not necessarily the known pieces. I think there has to be a better way to organize all of it. I didn’t feel like it was done when I got to the last room, and the lack of closure was rather disturbing. The building the museum is in itself was amazing. Old, with interesting nooks and crannies.

We happened to be in Barcelona on a Sunday so thought we would save some money by taking advantage of their Sunday free admission price from 3−7PM. It’s not a huge museum so we expected to finish what we had to do within the 4 hours allotted (in actuality, we officially spent just over 2 hours there). We got in line at 2:45pm and was told that we would have to wait 1.5 hours! Our wait ended up only being about 30 – 40 minutes so I’m not quite sure how the staff person overestimated so high. I thought they only let a certain amount of people in every 15 minutes but they somehow miscalculated quite a bit.
It was fascinating to see so many examples of Picasso artwork from his younger years from as young as around 14 years old. In addition to all his paintings, there were some examples of his ceramic artwork which I was completely unaware of. As you enter the top level, you’re immediately brought to an exhibit where it featured the most recent photographs of Picasso from his later years in life from a longtime friend who photographed their interactions. I’m not sure that was a permanent exhibit but it was nice to put a face to the famous name. I would totally pay the normal admission price but if you time your day right, you can save some Euros and see this museum after after you get some lunch at the nearby Mercat Princesa.

Begeben Sie sich auf die beeindruckenden Spuren von Pablo Picasso. Unsere erfahrenen und lizensierten Tourguides werden Sie an die Orte bringen, an denen der weltberühmte Maler gelebt und gearbeitet hat. Zum Beispiel besichtigen Sie das eindrucksvolle Els Quatre Gats (Die vier Katzen) Café im Herzen von Barcelona, sowie den faszinierenden Stadtteil Carrer Avinyó. Unsere Tourguides bringen Ihnen während der Tour das Leben von Pablo Picasso näher und informieren Sie über seine einzigartige Karriere. Im Anschluss an die Tour haben Sie dann noch die Möglichkeit im Picasso Museum Werke des bedeutsamen Künstlers zu bewundern.

Extrem viele Werke von Picasso. Studenten haben komplett freien Eintritt. Leider war bei unserem Besuch keine temporary exhibition verfügbar.
Die Ausstellung war sehr interessant. Die Entwicklung des Künstlers zu sehen hat uns viel Spaß gemacht. Auch für wenig Kunst interessierte schön anzusehen.

Nice museum with lots of information and nice pictures and paintings of course. There are also some self portraits and background info of Picasso.
Another nice thing is that you can go in for free every first Sunday of the month: D

Picasso mitten im Gothic Quarter
Sehr schöné Ausstellung mit vielen, vielen Werken von Picasso.
Für Liebhaber ein muss.
Alles in perfekter Umgebung und sehr gut organisiert.
Eintritt ab 11,00 EUR.
Tipp: Um 10.00 Uhr ist die Schlange am Eingang noch nicht so lang.

Inmitten des Gassengewirrs der Altstadt liegt dieses Kleinod: Ein restaurierter Adelspalast mit malerischen Innenhöfen. Man sollte früh kommen, denn der Andrang ist groß. Berührende Jugendwerke des Jahrhundertgenies sind ebenso zu sehen wie weltberühmte Gemälde der blauen und kubistischen Epoche. Großartig auch die Vielfalt der hier ausgestellten Keramik: Tiere, Teller, Karaffen mit sprechenden Gesichtern fröhlich, verspielt und skurril.

Einfach der Wahnsinn! Wer hier enttäuscht wird hat mit Kunst nichts am Hut! Vor allem die frühen Werke sind faszinierend und Zeugen von dem unglaublichen Talent des Künstlers! Einziger Wermutstropfen sind die zumeist langen schlagen und die damit verbunden Wartezeiten.
Wer in dieser prachtvollen Stadt nach Kultur sucht wird hier mehr als fündig!

Museu que mostra toda a vida artística do pintor. Não tem as suas obras mais emblemáticas, mas é sem dúvida o único local onde podemos ver toda a sua evolução.

Un beau musée, un agencement que je n’avais jamais vu, très ouvert, malgré tout, on s’y perd facilement

Die Ausstellung hat uns enttäuscht, unsere Erwartungen bezüglich der Frühwerke Picassos erfüllten sich nicht. Der Eintrittspreis ist sehr hoch, der Audioguide extra zu bezahlen. Hinzu kommen lange Schlangen an den Kassen.
In unseren Augen läßt die Freundlichkeit des Personals sehr zu wünschen übrig, auch fehlen ausreichende Fremdsprachenkenntnisse.
Als wir vor wenigen die Ausstellungsräume betreten wollten,
wurde meine Gattin barsch darauf hingewiesen, das sie ihren ausgeschalteten Camcorder Canon XM-​2 nur dann mit in die Räume nehmen dürfe, wenn sie das Mikrofon abbaue. In dem gesamten Gebäude herrscht ein rigides Film– und Fotoverbot. Anderrnfalls müsse sie die Kamera in einem Garderobenfach einschliessen. Da wir wussten, das man in den Räumen nicht filmen darf, erkundigten wir in uns warum vor diesem Hintergrund das Mikrofon ein Problem
sei, das da eingebaut, nicht entfernbar sei. Es hieß nur lapidar –Security Reasons. Der Hinweis, dass die Camera zu
teuer sei um sie einem einfachem Schließfach anzuvertrauen, zumal vor
Dieben gewarnt werde und ein versierter Dieb ein so primitives Schloss
schnell öffne, wurde damit beantwortet, wenn wir uns nicht sicher fühlten,
könnten wir uns ja davonmachen. Mehrmals frug ich ob es eine bewachte
Garderobe gebe, man verneinte oder verstand nicht. Beim Verlassen des Museums sahen wir das es eine gab.
Das Auftreten des Personals wirkte gereizt, möglicherweise war es
überfordert, denn niemand sprach nach unserem Eindruck gut Englisch oder Französisch. Obwohl wir unsere Fragen und Bitten sachlich und ruhig vortrugen, zog man sofort Wachpersonal hinzu. Ein sehr merkwürdiger Umgang mit Gästen, den wir so noch nie in einem Museum auf dieser Welt erlebt haben.

Dieses Museum hat mir deutlich besser gefallen als die Ausstellungsräume des anderen grossen Künstlers Barcelonas Joan Miro (Ausstellung Fundacio Miro) und konnte sogar mir als bekennendem Ungläubigen der modernen Kunst ein wenig Verständnis einimpfen. So zieht sich dieses Museum nachvollziehbarerweise durch die Lebensgeschichte und den Werdegang des Pablo Picasso und wendet sich gleichzeitig seiner künstlerischen Entwicklung und Stilerarbeitung zu. Dies wird derart gut praktiziert, das selbst künstlerisch unbegabte Laien (wie ich z.B.) einen sehr guten und genauen Eindruck seines Schaffens erhalten können. Selbst seine Zuwendung von der klassischen zur modernen Malerei wird geradezu genial fassbar gemacht. Seine Interpretation klassischer Gemälde im neuen Stil war mir bis dato in dieser Form nicht bekannt.
Eine echte Empfehlung für alle die sich von einem recht deftigen Eintritt und langen Warteschlangen nicht abhalten lassen wollen. Was letzteres angeht empfehle ich (wie bei jeder gut besuchten Attraktion) gleich bei Öffnung des Museums da zu sein.

Cinco palacios juntos de la calle Moncada, palacios con historia para hablar en su dia. Picasso donó más de 900 obras al Museo de Barcelona, es imprescindible visitarlo. La entrada cuesta 10 EUR y hay que hacer cola, pero si amas el arte y quieres estudiar su obra en profundidad, te puedes sacar en el momento, con fotografía que te hacen en el acto, un carnet válido para un año, renovable, que cuesta 11 EUR, que te evitas las largas colas entrando como aquel que entra en su casa y entrar tantas veces como quieras, además podrás disfrutar de las exposiciones temporales del momento.

Au cœur du quartier du Born, le Musée Picasso est installé dans un magnifique palais gothique. Les collections présentées sont majoritairement composées d’œuvres de jeunesse antérieures à l’évolution de sa peinture vers le cubisme et le surréalisme.
La déambulation et la compréhension sont facilitées par les explications claires sur chaque période présentée (éléments biographiques et influences artistiques), qui ponctuent l’entrée de chaque salle. La salle consacrée à la réinterprétation du célèbre tableau des Ménines de Velázquez m’a particulièrement intéressée, surement parce que j’y ai retrouvé le style qui caractérise Picasso.
Je me rends compte né me relisant que cet avis manqué d’enthousiasme et de vivacité, je pense que c’est du au sentiment d’inachevé que j’ai eu en sortant du musée. C’est un peu comme si l’on avait interrompu le film avant la fin … Bah tant pis, il y en aura d’autres.
Coté pratique :
Beaucoup, beaucoup de monde à l’entrée, mais grâce à la Carte Articket BCN, on né fait pas la queue pour acheter un billet :)). Beaucoup, beaucoup de monde également dans les salles, dont des groupes de scolaires, choisissez donc soigneusement votre heure si vous souhaitez profiter sereinement des oeuvres.
Une boutique particulièrement bien achalandée.

Barcelona fue la ciudad que marcó al artista en su periodo de formación, localidad con la que estableció unos lazos muy fuertes, tanto que fue él mismo el que la eligió personalmente como sede para exponer sus obras.
Muchas guías de viaje y entendidos en arte extranjeros critican la falta de obras de su periodo de máximo esplendor, pero es que el Museo Picasso intenta mostrar al artista en un ámbito mucho más íntimo y cercano. Aquí priman sus primeras obras, pinturas dibujadas a mano alzada sobre cartón y alfarería y trabajos comunes con otros artistas y amigos.
Aunque el plato fuerte es la exposición perenne, cuyo comisariado es más que notable, cabe destacar la gran calidad de las exposiciones temporales que acompañan anualmente a las obras expuestas de forma permanente: desde comparaciones del autor con pintores y escultores franceses hasta monográficos y reinterpretaciones de las obras del artista.

Èrase una vez, como decían los viejos cuentos que Mariana visitaba por tercera vez el Museo Picasso. Fue aquella «Noche de los Museos», donde podías visitarlos hasta altas horas y encima gratis. Sinceramente queríamos empacharnos de arte. Para eso estamos, dijimos. Con dos amigos aquella noche post bocadillo y cerveza, decidimos entrar otra vez al Picasso. Siempre que vas ves algo nuevo, seguro. Nunca una sola visita a un museo de tales características es suficiente. Esa es mi humilde opinión, claro. Esa noche no había cola afuera, nos llamó la atención, pero clá, estaba dentro. Pequeño detalle. Miles de cabezas tapaban el arte de Pablo. Me dije, nah, nunca más repito un museo así de esta forma. Parecía una disco, la gente se atropellaba por ver sus cuadros. Hasta creo que sentí algo de taquicardia. Así Picasso no me «piace», no me gusta, no se puede disfrutar. Te recomiendo que vayas con tiempo y que si estás para la «Noche de Museos» no vayas justamente al Picasso. Quizás puedes ir a otros. Demasiado imponente su arte como para ver sus obras esquivando cabezas y más cabezas. Ah, otra cosa, cuando vayas, dedícale un tiempo generoso a los patios. Son alucinantes. Voilà!

Una de las cosas de las que me voy a arrepentir por el resto de mis días es no haber aprovechado el tiempo en el que trabajaba dentro del museo para pasar más tiempo entre las obras de este magnífico artista. Es que típico, como podía entrar gratis cuando yo quisiera, nunca le vi el atractivo.
Cuenta con una exposición permanente con obras de sus primeros días principalmente. Y varios dibujos. Además constantemente está haciendo exposiciones temporales.
Está ubicado en un conjunto de palacios que el Ayuntamiento de Barcelona fue comprando poco a poco con el paso de los años. Para al final unirlos en un gran complejo con 4 portones gigantescos de acceso.
Es de los más visitados de la ciudad.

No se que me gusta más, si ir al Museo Picasso de Barcelona, o el paseo que me doy hasta llegar.
La Rivera es mi barrio favorito, sin lugar a dudas. Multitud de locales, tiendecitas, restaurantes, rincones… es un verdadero encanto. Y claro, para llegar al Picasso, te lo has de recorrer un poco, si entras desde el Born. O sea que doble placer. Porque al llegar te encuentras con todo un referente de los museos de la ciudad.
Los cinco edificios que lo forman ahora (mi madre… como ha crecido!, cuando empecé a ir habría dos o tres como mucho) son una maravilla del gótico catalán.
Y lo que hay dentro…¡para que os cuento! Tanto la expo permanente como las itinerantes están más que bien y suelen estar bien comisariadas.
Personalmente, a veces me lía un poco cuando la exposición que voy a ver es tan grande que ocupa varios espacios. Escaleras arriba, escaleras abajo… Está bien señalizado pero a veces, uno se pierde. Bueno, yo me he perdido!
Otra cosa que no me gusta es que, en invierno… hace mucho frío. Lo entiendo: son edificios antiguos y eso, pero es uno de los museos que, al menos yo, tengo que ver con el abrigo puesto.
Alguna vez he ido a presentaciones varias allí porque alquilan espacios para eventos. O sea que ya sabéis si alguna vez queréis luciros, no cabe duda de que es uno de los sitios a tener en cuenta.
Si se va a ir mucho, es buena idea sacarse el carnet del Museo. Por solo un euro más de lo que cuesta la entrada normal (con expo temporal incluida) puedes ir durante todo un año sin pagar más y lo que es más importante: saltándote las colas!

Nombreuses œuvres permettant de suivre l’évolution de la peinture de Picasso. Les ateliers créatifs sont appréciés des enfants.

A faire, même sans être fan de Picasso.
Le bâtiment est magnifique et la collection montre plusieurs aspects de l’œuvre de Picasso qui nous éloignent des classiques.

Cuando uno va a este museo en plan turista quizás no encuentra lo que se espera. El museo muestra más bien la vida y el desarrollo del arte del artista, se ven pocas obras del estilo que lo hizo tan famoso. Yo me quedé sorprendida por dónde había empezado Picaso y adónde ha llegado. Lo recomiendo mucho para personas que se interesan a obtener una visión mucho más completa de la vida y de las obras de Picaso.

Eigentlich bin ich kein Fan von abstrakter Kunst oder Picasso’s beruemten Gemaelden. Ich habe mich jedoch sehr erfreut, dass Picasso auch viele andere Portraits, Landschaften, Stillleben usw gemalt hat. Dieses Museum gibt eine gute Einsicht in den Menschen und sollte besonders Sontags besucht werden, wo der Eintritt frei ist ;o)

Apesar de dizerem que pode ser que esse museu não exponha a mais bela coleção de obras de Picasso, ela com certeza é a maior, com um número aproximado de 3600 pinturas, cerâmicas, desenhos e gravuras. Muitas delas foram doadas pelo próprio artista, antes mesmo que ele morresse. Eu recomendo que quando você for visitar o local, vá até algum dos bares da cidade, que por sinal é muito bonita com suas ruas e casebres no estilo medieval, e recupere sua energia saboreando ‘tapas’, que são petisquinhos espanhóis deliciosos, e dão um gostinho diferente à sua visitinha ao museu. O ingresso custa uns U$ 4,00 e o museu abre de Segunda a Domingo. (:

No es el mejor museo Picasso del Mundo, ni contiene sus mejores obras, sin embargo, es una visita obligada para todos aquellos que deseen conocer al genial artista malagueño. Aquí se encuentran las mejores obras de sus primeros años, Esperanza y Caridad es uno de mis cuadros favoritos y la pintura con la que se dio a conocer.
Es curioso poder comprobar la obsesión de Picasso con su padre, siempre presente en sus primeras pinturas, la relación con la ciudad, los cuadres referentes al Quatre Gats y los retratos de sus amigos así lo demuestran.
Es un musei en el que se puede llegar a conocer a Picasso íntimamente. Sin visitarlo, difícilmente podrás llegar a comprender su obras posteriores.

No se porque este museo no me invitó a entrar, quizá fuese culpa mia, quizá no tuviese el dia o simplemente este museo no consiguio engancharme y atraerme; y es raro porque a mi en general los museos me gustan a no ser que sean de algo que no me interesa en absoluto, pero no es el caso del museo picasso porque en principio e spintura, lo cual me gusta y en segundo lugar es picasso, pintor que no me super encanta pero si me gustan algunas de sus obras y además es uno d elos grandes por lo tanto e smuy interesante verlo. Sin ambargo llegamos a las puertas del museo, que creo recordar que está por la zona del born o del barrio gótico y nos parecío muy gris y triste y no tenía ningún tipo de información que nos llamase la atención para entrar

A faire! Ce musée retrace la carrière de Picasso. On découvre donc les premières oeuvres de l’artiste qui sont à l’opposé de ce qu’on connaît de lui, puis au fil de la visite on observe son évolution (à travers les techniques de peinture qu’il a crée) jusqu’à la découvertre de son style.
Né vous attendez donc pas à voir du Picasso comme on le connaît Il n’y a que quelques toiles sur les 1000 exposées.
Pour info: l’entrée est de 6EUR pour les moins de 25 ans et 9EUR pour les autres.

Für den kunstinteressierten Besucher Barcelonas ist ein Besuch hier natürlich Pflicht. Dank der langen Schlange vor der Tür ist es innen angenehmerweise nicht zu voll. Tipp: Als angekündigte Gruppe kommt man deutlich schneller rein.
Das Museum ist nicht anfangs gut strukturiert, chronologisch kann der Besucher die jungen Jahre des Künstlers abschreiten. Die Infotafeln erklären auf Spanisch, Catalan und Englisch die gröbsten Züge der Biographie, aber nur wenig zur künstlerischen Entwicklung Picassos.
Später löst sich die Ordnung leider völlig auf, von einer guten Beschilderung kann der Besucher nur träumen. Allerdings befinden sich auch kaum nennenswerte Werke aus den späteren Schaffensperioden im Besitz des Museums.
Wirklich unangenehm ist die Atmosphäre des Museums. An jeder Ecke stehen bewaffnete Schutzposten herum, alle Kunstwerke stecken natürlich hinter Glas. Sitzmöglichkeiten werden gar nicht erst geboten — als wolle man den Besucher schnellstmöglich wieder loswerden. An gut frequentierten Tagen kann einem auch schon einmal das Stehenbleiben verboten werden.
Picasso mag ein ganz großer sein, dieses Museum ist es nicht.

Herrliche Ausstellung. Große Auswahl an Gemälden, inklusive einer interessanten Studie zu den Variationen von Velázquez’ Meninas.
Großer Andrang, besonders sonntags sind die Schlangen unerträglich lang; jedoch die Ausstellung ist es wert.
Sehr nett ist auch das Café neben dem Museum in einem Hof gelegen.
