The Old Town's Picasso Museum is a must-visit destination for fans of contemporary art and has a sizable collection of the celebrated local son of Malaga, Picasso. The collection in the Museo Picasso Málaga spans Picasso's whole life and artistic career, from his first studies to his most avant-garde creations. The diverse collection of works (produced between 1892 and 1972) showcases Picasso's mastery in a variety of styles and techniques.
Picasso's reworking of works by European artists and the multitude of art movements he pioneered, including Cubism, are both examples of his ingenuity, adaptability, and genius. The collection features portrait, still life, landscape, and nudity as prominent topics.
The Mother and Child (1921), the Acrobat (1930), the Woman with Raised Arms (1936), the Still Life with Skull and Three Sea Urchins (1947), Jacqueline Seated (1954), the Bather (1971), and Musketeer with a Sword are some of the collection's standout pieces (1972).
The museum contains a bookshop that specialises in Picasso-related titles as well as a laid-back café in a courtyard area with geraniums and orange trees. The café offers pastries for breakfast, lunch, coffee, tea, and other beverages both inside and on the terrace that is shaded.
