Description

Museo Picasso Málaga was established to honor Picasso's wish for his work to be exhibited in his birth city, Málaga, born in 1881. The collection was formed through donations from Picasso’s family and support from the Junta de Andalucía.

Housed in the Palacio de Buenavista, a National Monument since 1939, the museum opened in 2003. The building combines Renaissance, Mudéjar, and modern architectural elements. On the underground floor, visitors can explore archaeological ruins from Phoenician, Roman, and Arabic eras.
