The museum presents some of Picasso’s schoolbook sketches from art school (where his father taught) and strong works from his early days in Barcelona, including the Blue Period (1901 – 1904) and the Pink Period (1907 – 1920).
The museum also displays a set of 42 pieces of ceramic such as vases, plates and dishes, all made in the 1050s and displaced by Jaqueline Picasso.
Opening times:
Tue – Sun: 10 am – 8 pm, closed on Mondays.
