One of my favorite paintings in the Picasso Museum is called Las Meninas, a painting of a little girl Picasso with whom was obsessed.... I especially enjoyed the video portion of the museum, which shows a morph of the painting into many different versions..... After I left the museum, I saw a little nun walk down the alley and disappear into a little door in the wall, and I threw a few coins into the box of the guitar player nearby. Barcelona is a great city that is alive with feeling and spirituality.....I would highly recommend a visit there, as well as to the top notch Picasso Museum!!

Did you know the world famous artist Pablo Picasso is Spanish? Well he is and many of his masterpieces are in the Picasso museum in Barcelona , this museum is worth checking out if you’re a bit arty farty.

This was one of my favorite museums, and anyone interested in art, especially Picasso, should make time for a visit. I found the layout to be quite good, and there were enough descriptions to provide information on the different time periods in Picasso's life, and how these different periods manifested themselves in his art (i.e. his blue period). The museum is located in the Barri Gotic (Gothic Quarter) of Barcelona.

Some of the best drawings I've ever seen in the flesh, Picasso wasn't just a cubist. This museum shows the works of a truly talented man chronologically, his earliest works are what impressed me most. Simple sketches from life made sat on benches of Barcelona to some of his greatest cubist masterpieces. A must see for any aspiring artist. And what an amazing building.

I have to admit Picasso is too gloomy for my liking but if you're into him then this museum is chock-a-block with his stuff. Plus, unlike some of the bigger museums in Europe there aren't any crowds (at least not in April) so you actually get to stand there for a while looking studiously at a painting until you realise it's of someone's private bits.
