Picasso in Malaga

This week we're in Malaga the city where Picasso was born, to celebrate his upcoming 50th anniversary in 2023.   We're at the Picasso Museum where we're chatting about Picasso's amazing life with the museum's artistic director - José Librero. 

It all began in Malaga

On 25 October 1881, Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga (Andalusia), where he spent his childhood.  Picasso left Malaga when he was just 12 years old and never returned.  This is an amazing Museum which highlights how incredibly multi-talented Picasso was.  Nowadays, the city of Malaga is one of the best places to learn about the artist, because you can visit both the Museo Picasso Málaga (featuring works such as “Olga Khokhlova in Mantilla”, “Still Life with Skull and Three Sea Urchins” and “Jacqueline Sitting”) and the Picasso Birthplace Museum. Both places frequently hold temporary exhibitions and in the Birthplace Museum you can also objects that belonged to the artist and his family, and sketches for Les Demoiselles d'Avignon.To round off the Picasso route through the city you can also stop by the Church of Santiago where Picasso was christened.
