Pablo Picasso’s connection to Málaga runs deep, and the Museo Picasso Málaga stands as a testament to his wish to have his work displayed in the city where he was born. Housed in the stunning Buenavista Palace, this museum offers visitors an opportunity to explore over 200 pieces of Picasso’s work across a range of styles, techniques, and mediums. The building itself, an example of Andalusian Renaissance architecture, adds to the experience.

3 Exhibitions in One

The museum's latest permanent exhibition, Pablo Picasso: Structures of Invention. The Unity of a Life’s Work, offers a fresh perspective on the artist. With 141 works on display—10 of which are being shown in Spain for the first time—this exhibition offers a new way of looking at Picasso’s art. It challenges traditional interpretations and allows viewers to see the evolution of Picasso’s style in a unified, cohesive manner.

Photography Exhibit by Joel Meyerowitz

From June 15 through the end of the year, Joel Meyerowitz. Europe 1966-1967 will be on display. Meyerowitz, a prominent American photographer, captured Europe during a transformative period in the 1960s. This exhibition features his series of images taken across the continent and offers a striking look at life and culture during that era.

Exploring More Than Art

Beyond the art, the museum allows visitors to step back in time with archaeological remains that offer insights into the city’s long and storied history. The museum’s fusion of art, history, and architecture makes it an enriching stop in the heart of Málaga. Audio guides are included with admission, providing context and stories behind Picasso’s works and the museum itself.

A Break in the Garden

After taking in the museum’s exhibitions, the tranquil garden café offers a peaceful spot to relax. The museum’s central patio is also a must-see, with its charming setting providing an ideal backdrop for a quick break or a photo to remember the visit.
