Pablo Picasso was born in Málaga in 1881, and this museum, in the 16th-century Buenavista Palace in the old town, holds more than 200 of his works, donated by his family, covering his whole career. In the basement you can see Phoenician and Roman remains found during the building work.


His birthplace, on the Plaza de la Merced, a few minutes away, is now a small museum too. Book online to skip the queue. Málaga has become a city of museums, including a branch of the Pompidou Centre at the port.
