Picasso Museum
The Picasso Museum is located in Buenavista Palace, a representative building of Renaissance in Anadalusia, It was built, as a fulfilment of a lifelong wish of Pablo Picasso, by the Junta de Andalucia and his heirs, daughter-in-law Chrinstine Ruiz-Picasso and grandson Bernard Ruiz-Picasso. Both relatives of the artist decided to donate more than 200 works from their private collections to the art gallery in gratification to the passion of the people for the artist. These works are in different styles, materials and techniques that cover all the creative periods of the artist’s work and include creations from his youth to those which he signed at the end of his life.
