Step by Step
The experience begins at Plaça del Fossar de les Moreres, where you will meet your guide before taking a short walk to the Picasso Museum. Before entering, you will be able to admire the architectural complex that houses the museum, comprising five palaces built between the 13th and 14th centuries.
Once inside, the tour focuses on Pablo Picasso’s artistic career, from his early works through to the later stages of his career. The museum offers a particularly good insight into his formative years and the importance of Barcelona in his development as an artist between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Throughout the tour, the guide will provide context on the works, the techniques used and the changes that shaped the painter’s evolution. The collection comprises over 3,500 works and is particularly notable for housing one of the most comprehensive collections dedicated to Picasso’s early years.
The guided tour lasts approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes and takes place in groups of up to 20 people per guide. In addition, a radio guide system is provided so that you can comfortably follow the explanations throughout the tour.
If you select the relevant option, the experience is complemented by admission to the Moco Museum. This option allows you to combine two very different artistic experiences in a single day: the legacy of one of the great figures of the 20th century and a collection focused on modern and contemporary art.
Reviews
- RR.The explanation was engaging and the museum has a vast collection of works. I’d love to come back another day and take my time exploring.
- MM.Highly recommended for a first visit to the Picasso Museum. You’ll come away with a better understanding of his different periods, rather than just looking at paintings without a guide.
- HH.Starting at El Born provides context for the experience. After that, inside the museum, everything went quite smoothly and was easy to follow.
- KK.A comfortable and well-guided tour. There were quite a few people in some of the rooms, but thanks to the audio guide, we didn’t lose track of the narrative.
