Museo Picasso
Let's salute the best-known artist of the 20th century in the museum filled with treasures. The museum that focuses on the formation of Pablo Picasso boasts the world's largest collection of his early works. Picasso had remarkable artistic inclinations when he was only 10 years old. In 1895, at age 14, his family moved to Barcelona from the city of La Coruna, where his artistic career flourished. In the Museu Picasso the visitors can really get to know the artists due to the valuable sketches of the school and family portraits selected from the works of the striking blue and pink period.
Fundació Joan Miró
The Joan Miró Museum – founded by Joan Miró himself in 1975 - is a tribute in front of a man whose legacy can be seen throughout the city. The museums preserve more than 11.000 colorful paintings, drawings and statues of the artist. We can follow the evolution of Miró from the surrealism in the 1920’s until the 1960’s, when he became one of the biggest masters in the world.
