Fundacion Pablo Ruiz Picasso

This museum tells mostly about Picasso’s early life in the 2 houses where the museum is established in.
You can take an audio guide with you (costs 1 €), but somehow its guidings take too long time and you don’t have time to listen to them all.
Entrance: 2 €.
Takes about 1 hour to walk through (2 houses).
Most of texts are in Spanish :(

Pablo Picasso is perhaps Malaga’s best known son and you will find the main Picasso Museum a bit further into the main town.
However, this Foundation Birthplace Museum has a nice historical link in being based in the actual square where the artist was born. If you’re really interested, he was born in what is now number 15 Plaza de la Merced
This museum concentrates more on the personal life and history of Picasso with the permanent exhibitions displaying the personal effects of the young Picasso — toys, photos, even a self portrait by the young painter. It’s also interesting to find out things about his family and there are works by Jose ruiz Blasco, Picasso’s father
There are also temporary exhibitiions covering works by Picasso but also other exponents of modern art
Overall, a much more intimate space and feel to this museum with interesting insights into the life of Picasso. Worth a little detour from the main town to round out your experience of this extraordinary painter

Pues qué decir, poca gente sabe que en un pueblecito de la Sierra Pobre Madrileña existe una colección con piezas únicas de Pablo Picasso. El que fuese su barbero y a la postre confidente y amigo, Eugenio Arias, natural de Buitrago, decidió donar al pueblo la colección de grabados, dibujos, cerámica etc. que su buen amigo Picasso le fue regalando a lo largo de su larga relación de amistad.
A no perderselo si se está de visita en este precioso pueblo con recinto amurallado a poco menos de 75 km de Madrid por autovía.
Id, ver y disfrutad!
