Small but powerful. - We enjoyed wandering in his home. The art was wonderful and the gallery well organized. It was also a short walk to another Picasso exhibit

No queue and interesting . - With a huge queue outside the Picasso Museum, this was a lovely queue less alternative. Picasso’s house where he grew up contains some of his art, but also a feeling of where he came from and what inspired him.
It’s a short visit certainly no more than an hour and outside you are on the lovely square with cafés. There is also a toilet and a gift shop inside supercheap to get in. It’s well worth it.

A museum with interesting background on the artist - Reading other reviews it is hard to know what visitors were expecting to see. This is a museum that is telling us something about the circumstances under which Picasso lived as a child and the influences which helped to mould him. It is the building in which he spent time as a child, so it is not a custom built gallery for his work - quite the contrary. It has many interesting documents and artifacts on display with commentary. I confess that despite being an art lover (and artist) I am not a huge Picasso fan: I find his work interesting but not enjoyable for the most part. But he was a fascinating human being and this museum helps us a little to understand who he was and why he produced the work he did. This museum held my interest and I enjoyed the visit (more so than to the Picasso Gallery). Look on this museum as the first couple of chapters in the Picasso story......

Picasso birthplace museum Malaga - Audio commentary - excellent . Great overview of Picasso’s life and works as well as family influences . Only negative is that I could not download prepaid entry ticket and add to Apple Wallet which caused headache at Reception who reluctantly agreed to give us entrance tickets !

Worth a visit. - It was lovely to see so many different photos. The rooms told a different story which were very interesting. I loved the actual photos of the family.
It was lovely to see the books & papers which were in a concealed book case.

Don’t bother - Well if you are selling to an international audience Don’t put an only Spanish speaking person on front desk. No Nintendo WONT WEAR IT IN 2024. Shows no interest in what you’re doing ie providing a service and certainly shouts no interest in people.. wrong job for you.
So that might put you off but one rallies on regardless. It’s small, so,if you claustrophobic…avoid. Stairs too.
Bit disappointing, so it’s a 2/5 I’m afraid. Anyway not for the sensitive as you’d be turned off at reception.

We could not find the location and we’re very disappointed in the venture . There was no need to skip the line as no one was there and no tour .
Thought we had skip the line tickets and guide for the Museum .
Had to pay twice

Did not enjoy - Was unable to download my online ticket so went to the museum with proof of payment on my phone. Asked if I could download my ticket there but told I couldn’t.
They just shrugged and said I was not allowed to enter. Fortunately I found a cyber cafe across the road who kindly let me use their Wi-Fi to access my ticket. The.smell of the toilets pervaded the museum. Not sure if pigeons and doves are the same but I thought the dove paloma ) was a symbol of peace but their English captions just mentioned pigeons?

Skip It - really did not understand Picasso's paintings. Not worth the visit unless you are truly an art lover and know that he paints very odd childlike paintings and then many nudes also.
