- peter jGloucester, United Kingdom218 contributionsThe emperor's new clothesThe museum is beautiful however if Picasso's "art" isn't bad enough the space has been filled with tat created by his imitators. There was some of his stuff when we visited but the main exhibition was thankfully closed. The basement is well worth visiting as it has roman remains created by people with actual talent.Visited February 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten February 29, 2024
- elaine0haraLimerick, Ireland19 contributionsDisappointingWe were a bit disappointed that although a large section of the museum was closed they still charged the same amount. I was also disappointed by the number of Picasso art pieces there was on show. The majority were artists I never heard of and it confirmed to me I am not a modernism art fan.Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 12, 2024
- snowshaman44 contributionsExcellent museum limited to world-class temporary show during renovations, don’t miss garden area and underground ruinsWell curated temporary exhibition showed Picasso’s influence on other artists, while many museum sections were closed for renovations. Don’t miss once new permanent show opens shortly. Excellent light meal counter with access to peaceful large garden area. Also don’t miss ruins on underground level from various periods of Malaga’s history.Visited February 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 12, 2024
- Isabel7 contributionsA must for art/Picasso fans, not much of Picasso on display, free audio guideWith an internet ticket (bought the night before), entry was quick (left line at the entrance), bags have to be left, free audio guide. I'm not a huge art fan, but visited the museum mainly because of the bad weather that day. The building is beautiful, the works of art impressed me more or less. Only a few works by Picasso are on display! Excavations can also be seen in the basement. Because of the weather, as expected, several people had the idea of visiting the museum, so it quickly became quite full, unfortunately including a few inconsiderate visitors. The café in the museum is highly recommended, though!Visited March 2024Traveled soloWritten March 14, 2024
- Tomas AVigo, Spain112 contributionspoorly organizedThe content of the museum is extraordinary, very well cataloged the different stages of Picasso. The collection of works is good in general with few hits. The very beautiful building. The organization of the “painful” capacity. They sell too many tickets and you fight with people to see a painting. Very poorly organizedVisited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 30, 2024
- SusieSue8 contributionsBrilliant, enthrallingVery popular, be sure to book online as it gets full. Don't be fooled into thinking you can skip the line here, you still have to queue even if you pre book. Lots of art by Picasso and other great artists. I am a speed art lover and I was there 1.5 hours, very interesting, deffo worth a visit. The Fundacion which is nearby is worth a visit if you dont have to queue, but I'm my view was not worth the 30 min wait to get inside, however, this museum is definitely worth queueing for.Visited March 2024Traveled with friendsWritten March 30, 2024
- SC2011Leeds, United Kingdom124 contributionsGreat Art and artists, not just PicassoBrilliant gallery with lots of interesting Art from Picasso and others. Best to book online as it gets full. Great audio. Note you still have to queue even if you pre book, but it's definitely worth it. The Picasso Fundacion is not far away and is worth a visit provided there is no queue, it's very small and not worth queueing for , this museum is well worth queueing forVisited March 2024Traveled with friendsWritten March 30, 2024
- Deb MKirkfield, Canada119 contributionsThe Unity of Pablo PicassoWe were able to delay our visit until the new exhibit, Pablo Picasso: Structures of Invention, was opened in late March (it runs for the next 3 years). It was well worth the wait. The idea behind this exhibition was to break away from the traditional interpretations of Picasso's work as belonging to "periods" by displaying works from different decades of his career next to each other, to present Picasso as a creative whole. My husband and I were surprised to see the return to themes and subjects decades apart in his career, as well as the variety of media he worked in. Picasso's ability to see and interpret the world throughout his lifetime is to be admired. Also in the museum was an "inspired by" Picasso -exhibit - other artists who have taken their inspiration from the master. Do not miss the archeological display in the basement. The building is built on Phoenician foundations, as well as Roman and Moorish remains.Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten April 17, 2024
- elav86Piedmont, Italy1,107 contributionsInterestingThe exhibition is very interesting and with the audio guide it is engaging and easy to follow. The building that houses the museum is very beautiful. I advise you to buy the ticket online because you won't have to queue at the entrance. We went during the week and only waited 5 minutes.

- juliethetraveller123Greater Manchester, United Kingdom264 contributionsAudio guides describe Picasso's work in detailWorth booking ticket to avoid the massive queues and go early morning as it does become very busy. The former Palacio de Buenavista is a beautiful building with attractive timber ceilings and pleasant garden where cafe provides opportunity to rest between exhibitions. Go prepared with valuables in small bag as all rucksacks have to be stored in room with impatient staff.Visited April 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten April 20, 2024

We are not art enthusiasts but felt would be worth visiting a Picasso museum in the city of his birth - in hindsight, not the best decision, perhaps better off going with the one in Barcelona.
This museum is fairly small and limited, two galleries across two floors.
No videos allowed, just photos (if you can get a shot without people waltzing by!). The art is very ... abstract.
They do seem to try to limit numbers inside but it was still far too busy to take things in.
Given they now charge 12 Euros per person, for the amount of artwork on show, feels a little steep.
A side note, if planning to visit, buy a ticket online - saves you having to queue twice (once to get to the ticket machine, another to enter).

This is a small museum with an interesting variety of Picasso styles and mediums, paintings, sculpture and ceramics. Obviously it isn't like visiting a huge exhibition in the larger galleries of Madrid, Paris or London but it made for a quaint and thoughtful experience. I spent an hour and a half here really studying the works. Book your ticket online to avoid the queue, bring some headphones for a downloadable audio guide and definitely visit the Joel Meyerowitz photography exhibition which runs until December. Beautiful vibrant photographs of people, families and street life throughout his visit of Europe in the 1960s. El Pimpi right around the corner for a refreshing drink afterwards.

I visited around 10.30 am and did not have to wait long for entry which was 13 euros, you are given an audio guide which is included in the entry price and throughout the building you could get a commentary to help you along. The audio guide is a must as most of the signs accompanying the exhibits were very small and difficult to read, it is a beautiful building, very smart and atmospheric with security everywhere. As other reviews have stated there are not many original works here but it does give you a good insight in to the man himself, my only gripe would be that there were no places where you could sit and spend some time and feel that would be useful.
Glad I went and as it is close to everywhere it is easy to find and not much of a hike.

We got and paid for the tickets online a month ago, when we arrived they informed us that the permanent exhibition is not available, only the temporary ones. We are not interested in anything and they offer us to file a claim, which of course we did. The options are to wait for a response until they decide if they will refund our money, change our ticket for another day or nothing at all. They say that when we bought the tickets the website already warned us that the main collection was not available, which we never saw, since we would not have gotten the tickets. The option to change to another day is not worth it because it will take at least a week and we will already be 982 km away. Returning the money would be nice although we lost the opportunity and of course the desire to return.
Anyway, robbery, robbery and deception. You don't pay to see a building with fillings, Picasso advertises and that's what we bought, although they wanted to sneak us a fortune.
We were attended by a man named Fran who at all times blamed “them”, it was impossible for them to assume his lack of respect for the visitor (on the part of the Museum, not his personally).
Very badly.

Before leaving the hotel in the morning I saw there was availability for 12:30 tickets online (on the museum's official website), so I purchased one. I headed to the Picasso Museum at around 12:15 and joined the back of the online tickets queue. However, I wasn't let in until after 1pm. They obviously oversell tickets and the time on the ticket means nothing. I saw the Dalí Museum in Figueres earlier in the year. Compared to that the Picasso Museum is underwhelming. It's a small collection of pieces and copies of work by Picasso and another collection of pieces by modern artists who have adopted Picasso's style. Not worth a 45 minute wait to get in or the 12 Euro admission fee. I would also suggest not buying tickets in advance, as it doesn't allow you to go away and come back later when you're having to queue for a lengthy time.

The museum provides a good overview of Picasso's career. The audio guide is helpful but a bit pretentious. One should buy tickets on line in advance to avoid the slow moving line at the museum entrance. Tickets are sold for a specific time.

located in the city center, this small museum is located in a beautiful Andalusian building, well renovated
the exhibition, which does not contain the artist's famous pieces, can be interesting to learn about his life and works
I always recommend taking the audio guide, which is a valid support to better appreciate the museum

Don’t waste your money . Purchased tickets online with no indication that his permanent collection was being reviewed and not able to be viewed by the public until mid March. Felt ripped off and money should’ve been refunded for not disclosing this. They were very few of his works at all, some sketches, and some sculptures,. It’s obvious the museum cares only about making money, rather than ensuring the public Gets what they paid for. Shame on you.

The museum is located in the middle of the historical center and has an interesting collection. I particularly liked the fact that in addition to the more famous Cubist works, etc., there is also quite something else on display, e.g. classic portraits. You walk chronologically through Picasso’s artistic life, as it were, all the way to the last room, where you can see pictures of his last exhibition, which he put together and which only opened after his death.
It is a pity that the rooms are far too small and narrow to allow the images to take effect. If you have trouble catching a glimpse between the shoulders and heads of other visitors at the beginning of February, I don’t want to know how it goes in high season.

We were here recently. Due to the crowds, it is advisable to buy tickets online in advance to ensure you can get in.
Unfortunately, far too many people are allowed into the museum at the same time, so you can't really take in the amazing pictures because there are always people crowding everywhere.

Yes, you can buy tickets there but somethings the queues are long, but they do allow a certain number in at a time and it doesn't take as long as you may think- perhaps 20 - 30 minutes or so - obviously you can buy your tickets in advance which gets you through a little quicker without the need to go to the desk and buy one.
Yes,there are locker rooms there for security reasons.

How far is the museum from the cruise port? What type of transportation is available
Written January 5, 2023
Hi,
The town is quite compact so not far at all from the harbour. You can check exactly on googlemaps for walking instructions. If i remember correctly, the cruise point is the very end of harbour so max is 30 mins id say. Prob half ++ that time/distance is walking in the harbour complex. The museum is lovely, enjoy!
PS not sure if taxi options etc in the cruise port, sorry, hopefully someone can tell you that fir sure. Id expect there is a taxi point somewhere!
