Itinerary
The meeting point will be at the Fossar de les Moreres. From there, we will head towards the Picasso Museum on a nice and short walk. Although the Picasso Museum was initially housed in a single building, the “Palau Aguilar”, it was extended over the years. It is currently made up of five different palaces, built between the 13th and 14th Centuries. Once inside the Picasso Museum we will learn about his artistic evolution, from his youth to his death, discovering also his period in Barcelona between 1895 and 1904. Did you know the Picasso Museum was the first and only museum created during the artist’s lifetime? It is the perfect place to discover all the details of the artist’s life and career. Appreciate his artistic evolution through the collection of more than 3.500 works and the most complete in the world of works from his youth. At the end of the guided tour, you can stay inside the museum for as long as you like, to admire all the works at your own pace.
