Memorias de Málaga · Museo Picasso Málaga, Palacio de Buenavista
A certified guide from Memorias de Málaga takes you through Museo Picasso Málaga in about 90 minutes, entry ticket included. Pick it if you want Picasso's work put in context, with the stories behind the paintings.
Pablo Picasso was born in Málaga on 25 October 1881, in Plaza de la Merced, a few minutes from the museum. Museo Picasso Málaga opened on 27 October 2003 in the Palacio de los Condes de Buenavista, with works donated by Christine and Bernard Ruiz-Picasso, his daughter-in-law and grandson.
The guide covers his life and work, with stories behind the paintings. The listing includes the entrance ticket, and the guide waits at the museum entrance with a yellow umbrella. The listing says the tour is wheelchair accessible.
Two rules matter. Book the right language: Spanish groups need a high level of Spanish, and the listing says there is no refund if you book the wrong one by mistake. And be on time: latecomers lose the tour after a short grace period. If you're on a budget, know the museum is free in the last two hours on Sundays, without a guide.
At the museum entrance, Calle San Agustín 8.
