I enjoyed my visit to the museum very much especially the new look upon Picasso's lifelong varied artistic career as a coherent unity. I also liked the archaeological remains downstairs, and the beautiful building itself. This was my first vist to Malaga and I will definitely come back to this fantastic museum the next time I visit Andalucia/Malaga

Very nice museums with beatiful artwork from Picasso and also an exhibition of the Portugese artist Joana Vasconcelos. I already know her from an exhibition in Brussels some years ago, which was an extra surprise. Why not 5 stars ? Well because even the people with a ticket with a timeslot had to stand in line for 25 minutes to enter museo picasso. After all it was certainly worth waiting.

Great place to visit, and doesn't take long. The staff were all very helpful and provided audi machines in English. I really just wanted to stand in his house but there were plenty of exhibits to see and lots of information. You also get to visit "number 13" for free with the same ticket where there was even more information and loads more exhibits, well worth it.
