Museo Picasso Málaga

The museum opened in 2003 in the Buenavista Palace, with a collection given by Picasso's family. Rooms are arranged by period, so you can follow how his style changes from early portraits to late work. Temporary exhibitions fill a separate wing, and Roman and Phoenician remains are visible in the basement of the building. Plan on two hours for the collection alone.

Tip

Go as soon as it opens, before the tour groups arrive. The last two hours of opening on Sunday are free, but the queue is longest then.
