    Museu Picasso is a must-visit when visiting Barcelona. Though we had visited Malaga, Spain during our trip, the birthplace of Picasso, Museu Picasso houses thousands of art pieces, from rough drafts to finished work. The entrance is beautiful and open. There are many paths directing you to tickets, lockers, restrooms, and the gift shop. However, everything was fairly easy to find. After purchasing your tickets, you can pickup your headphones for a self-guided tour. The restrooms were very clean and the gift shop was bright with many Picasso-themed souvenirs. The museum is large and we never felt overcrowded. You can easily spend over three hours here if you're fully invested in art history and Picasso's work. My husband and I spent maybe an hour and a half to two hours total, especially admiring Picasso's Blue Period. Museu Picasso is truly a beautiful museum, is well maintained, and is fully of history. It's incredible seeing so much of one man's work from the early 1900s inside a modern day building.

    Great display of one of the greats. Learned so much about Picasso and got to see way more of his art than I even knew existed. Definitely worth the walk through!

    Several large scale canvases displayed

    Tickets vary by group, age, etc. a spectacular location in the city. Walking is the best option to access as there is no parking close by and the area is very pedestrianized. Crazy crowded at midday, it wasnt bad when we arrived that morning but by the time we exited the building it was ridiculous crowded. Okay exhibits. Not just Picasso's work. Very rare pieces that are only viewable at the museum. From his early career as a young man through the mid 1960s was on display the morning of my visit, with several of his "Blue" period pieces being shown. There were other non Picasso exhibitions going at the same time. If you are a Picasso fan this museum should be on your list, if you're an art enthusiast this museum should be on your list, if you are a historical architecture buff this museum should be on your list. The museum houses the largest collection of the artists ceramic and pottery works. I saw several ceramic pieces in the museum that I have never seen before. Along with some of his larger paintings. There are docents throughout the building and it encompasses multiple floors. One primary entrance that is controlled, once you purchase your tickets at the ticket office. You may acquire tickets online as well and avoid the line. However, we bought ours at the ticket office arpund 11am on a week day and there was no line or waiting and it only took a minute or two. The bulk of the exhibitions the morning of our visit were not Picasso. 4 Stars a solid art museum, though it does not house just Picassos work which is what I went for. 01071

    Great museum located in the Barcelona Gothic area. It houses Picasso's early and modern work. You can get free tickets a week in advance for slots after 7pm. The building itself is majestic and you can easily spend and hour or two here admiring amazing art. I highly recommend when you're visiting Barcelona.

    As an art gallery of arguably one of history's most well known modern artist, it had more than enough copies of his work to digest Picasso's work from freehand sketches to actual paintings and pottery. Picasso is truly a fascinating artist who can take a group of diverse objects and re-present them in a series of disparate paintings. While I am in no way a professional critic of art, not even close; I still enjoyed and appreciated his genius and work. Situated in Barcelona, Spain the museum spreads his work out in a labyrinth of rooms. Audio guide devices and elevators are available. The museum is a must for anyone who holds a fascination for art.

    I'm so glad I decided to venture to this side of town. I never would've made it to this corner if not for my visit to this museum. I prefer this type of collection. Small space, but with an amazing collection. My pre booked ticket was for late morning which I find is the sweet spot. Right before lunch is when the crowd gets bigger. Sure enough, there was way more people by the time I exited. There is a lot of stuff to see here. Different forms of art made by Picasso and some by other artists. I personally loved the stuff he made in his later years - the pottery. I walked around the area after exiting and ended up having lunch at Nonnas.

    free on thursday 7pm to 9pm...booking allowed only 4 days in advance..

    general entrance is about 15 euros and cheaper if booked online...came on a thursday between 7pm to 9pm which was free, but advanced booking is only allowed 4 days in advance...museum is another escape from the summer heat and way to cool off...endless collection of picasso masterpieces...if you love picasso, this is a must visit...

    This museum is located n Gothic neighborhood. I didn't reserve the ticket in advance but to my surprise I could get it at the site easily. Well organized exhibit and not too crowded with tourists. Staff is helpful and friendly. You can take pictures.

    As I took art all through school and learned a lot about Pablo Picasso and his different stages, I was so excited to see many of his pieces all in one place and see his earlier works of art too. Such a cool place if you appreciate art, this is a must!

    We booked our ticket when we got to the museum, used our credit card as it did not take cash/efectivo. Pretty comprehensive art collection as the Haus of Picasso. Big tourist spot, with lots of kids with no art exhibit etiquette.. getting shushed by the staff. There are some hidden gem spots in the museum that are less busy. Very good gift shop!

    The Picasso Museum was not at all what I expected, in a good way! I get to see a lot of Picasso's work living in Philadelphia as quite a few of his pieces are on display at the Barnes and the Philadelphia museum of art. However, honestly those collections are quite focused and do not tell me much about the man himself. I loved how the Picasso Museum walked you through his life and influences. You'll see more than just his most googled works. You'll see how things started, sketches from art school, and even his pottery! While I cannot remember the exact amount, admission was fairly priced. I'd plan to spend at least a hour, maybe an hour and a half, in the museum. They have a few videos around the museum mixed in with all the art to provide context and background. Enjoy!

    Beautiful setting for an art museum right in the Gothic Quarter and incredible gems of rooms that are beautiful within. We paid for the audio tour in advance and booked our trip to this museum just 1 days in advance, they have entry every half hour until 7:30pm and the museum closes at 10pm. Checking in was confusing as the entrance is near a staircase to start the tour, but if you have the audio or in person tour you have to go by the information desk on the other side of the property to get your materials and staff checking you in barely looks at your ticket much less told us where to go for those thigns. A nice security guard answered our question with that and we had to go back to get our materials and when trying to check back in not even 5 minutes later our tickets wouldn't work because we had already checked in and somehow they didn't remember Just seeing us and started to make a fuss until we got the security guard again. The emails you receive from the museum do not cover any of this information like most places in Spain. We had plenty of time with the audio tour. There is staff in almost every room, but they weren't helping with keeping people and children at a respectful talking level or telling them to go to shared areas to visit with one another and every piece is behind glass so it's not like anyone was going to touch and ruin the paintings so I'm not sure what they are in each room for. The collection itself and the audio tour were spectacular though! Lots of opportunities for sitting and taking in the art, as well as rooms and areas dedicated to resting from standing and looking at art or keeping people busy with books on Picasso works.

    Piercing artwork

    If you're a fan of Picasso and you follow his work, then you will definitely be intrigued by his works of art here. I'm not a huge fan or follower of Picasso's artwork, but visiting this museum is rated as one of the top attractions in Barcelona. So of course, I wanted to check it out for myself. I really wanted to do a guided tour, but they sell out months in advance. Unfortunately, I didn't know this ahead of time. Luckily I was able to snag an admission ticket about 6 weeks in advance as these often sell out quickly as well. I didn't do a lot of research before my visit, but this museum focuses primarily on Picasso's early works of art. One of the first rooms that you'll see features a large wall that's full of hundreds of Picasso's rough sketches. I mean, the man was clearly talented. As you continue through the museum, the sketches progress to some of his earliest oil paintings, sculptures, and pottery work. While I did find many of these pieces to be interesting, I was a bit underwhelmed as a whole. Again, I'm not an avid follower of Picasso, but I guess I was expecting to see some of his more popular art pieces. I also feel like some background information on the pieces would have been extremely helpful for me, so I really missed out by not being able to book a guided tour. Nevertheless, his artwork is still pretty amazing to see up close and personal. Not sure if I'd come back again since I felt like I got as much as I could out of the exhibits. However, I do feel like a tour is essential to establish some kind of connection to the art. This is especially true if you don't already follow his work. I'd encourage anyone who is looking to visit the Picasso Museum to purchase your tickets early and too book your tours a few months in advance.

You can't miss it. Walking by, if you weren't sure what building this was, you'd google it for sure. Taking the direct route from the traffic roundabout (and nearest metro station, as well as many bus stops) to the front entrance entails many stairs. Plan a good 10 minutes to walk up, that is if you don't stop for photos along the way. From the side streets, where I came from, there is the option of outdoor escalators (how novel! I haven't seen many outdoor ones before) for part of the trek upwards. Upon entering the ticket counter is to the left/center right inside the door, there is the option to purchase online though I bought them in person and it took only a few minutes with no line on a Friday in September. The ground floor lobby is right beyond the counters and provides direct access to the 6 main areas of the museum - Medieval Gothic art, Medieval Romanesque art, Renaissance and Baroque art, Modern art, Numismatics (coins and medals), and the main auditorium/atrium which also contains the cafe and a massive pipe organ. The exhibits were very thorough and for the most part chronological. I was impressed by their extensive Romanesque fresco collection and maintenance, and also enjoyed the modern art and Art Nouveau/Art Deco furniture collection. Walking around the total museum can easily take 2-3 hours, more if you want to read all the descriptions. The museum attendants are quite detailed in checking your tickets at the entry of each exhibition hall. Larger bags and backpacks must be carried in front of you not on your back. Bathrooms are available. Parking for cars and buses is also available though aside from tour groups it looked like majority of patrons walked there.

It starts with Barcelona as a Roman Colony and goes through the modern era. The main attraction though is ruins underground. You can see artifacts from the Roman Era and Medieval Era. It was really neat. Mostly it is just foundations, but there are some tiled areas that take you back in time. The cost is modest, and your ticket is good for several days.

That being said, I purchased tickets for us to explore during our first full day in the city. Casa Batlló is one of several structures in Barcelona designed by Antoni Gaudí. I believe this was originally designed as a private residence, and has since become a showcase of the type of work Gaudí produced. The visits are self-guided, and once you enter you are given an audio guide that you can use throughout the house that provides information about the space you're in. The house itself is gorgeous. It's so intricately designed with different themes throughout the space. The audio guide really helped here as it told the history behind each room. I found myself snapping tons of pictures, or just standing there and taking it all in. As expected, there were a couple of gift shops, and some interactive exhibits scattered throughout the house as well. Note that not all spaces are open to all guests, it depends on the type of ticket you buy; that being said, even if you get the base ticket you will see a lot. Also, this place naturally attracts Instagrammers - be aware there are lots of people posing for the camera, Overall, Casa Batlló was an awesome experience. It was my first taste of Gaudí's influence on the city, and I would definitely return for another visit.
