Pablo Picasso was born in this house in 1881. The museum shows the rooms with period furniture, family photographs and documents, along with some early drawings and prints. A separate exhibition hall on the same square holds temporary shows. The visit takes about an hour, and the square outside is a good place to stop for coffee.
