Picasso Museum
On Carrer Montcada, a street known for its elegant medieval
structures, two palaces dating from the 15th century have been
converted into the Picasso Museum, home to one of the most complete
collections of works from his youth and formative years as an
artist. Pablo Picasso spent his early years in Barcelona (between
1901 and 1906), and the museum is now the city’s top
attraction. The collection includes a number of childhood portraits
and paintings, as well as engravings, drawings and art from his
Blue and Rose Periods.
