The museum is a combination of rooms in Picasso's original parental home in Malaga and of memorabilia from his life in Malaga. There are pieces of furniture, items of clothing, personal effect (a very elegant and ornate pair of theatre binoculars which were a gift to him mother from General Espartero, the progressive XIX century general), reproduction of documents, and...

It would be a mistake not to visit Picasso Museum in his place of birth. The museum is quite small but has some fine pictures. It has a good amount of information and the film which includes scenes of the fascist bombing of Guernica are quite moving. The armed staff are a bit off putting and a touch surly. Unless... More

After visiting the Barcelona and Malaga Picasso museums, the Casa Natal helped give further insight into the artist's early years. My sense is that he must have enjoyed a delightfully happy childhood, playing in the Plaza Merced outside whenever he was not using his father's paintbrushes indoors! You can quickly see how some key themes in his adult work had... More

It should be noted that this is not the actual Picasso museum, but a collection of artifacts and a small gallery inside Picasso's childhood home. For 2 €, you can walk through with an audio-guide and see photographs and artifacts from Picasso's early days exhibited in display cases. Since the original furnishings are gone, it just felt like any other... More

This is where Picasso was born and grew up. Some great history. Very small collection of his works and very small attraction. This was very hard attraction to find parking for and very hard to find. And not as awsome as I thought it would be.

It should definitely be on you're at of to-do's in Malaga. Of course do stop into the square where you can view Picasso's birthplace where there is a... More

If you come to Malaga don't miss the opportunity to visit this house. Don't expect furnitures or any other kind of stuff like that. Instead you can find some original pictures!

I managed to spend 2 hours in the museum without really noticing. It was a great overview of Picasso's work and the gallery arrangement let's you chart it's progression. In addition I took in the temporary exhibition "The Grotesque Factor" which was a collection of Picasso's and other artists works based around the differences in the human form and how... More

Malaga is Picasso's birthplace. But like so many great men he left the city in his youth -- and never returned. This museum is quaint, and small enough to see in an hour. The collection is comprised of donations from picassos daught-in-law and grandson. It sits in the shadows of the Malaga Cathedral, down a cobblestoned street where sidewalk cafes... More
