The Buenavista Palace houses a Permanent Collection that shows eight decades of work by Pablo Picasso, born in Malaga in 1881. The Collection conveys the rigor and creative ability of an essential artist to understand the history of Western art. In addition, temporary exhibitions delve into the knowledge of the artistic context, while the program of activities proposes multiple ways to enjoy the arts.
The collection
The Picasso Museum Malaga was born by the desire of the great Malaga painter to have an exhibition space in his hometown. Christine and Bernard Picasso, daughter-in-law and grandson of the artist, make this yearning possible by providing the core of the collection.

The collection has 233 works that make a journey through 80 years of work of the Malaga painter, from 1892 to 1972. Through its 11 rooms you can see how Picasso breaks with the established precepts and gives way to new creations. He is considered the most important artist of the twentieth century. He was a very versatile creator so you can see works in various disciplines.

Thematics such as supporting the most disadvantaged, the family, close characters, the everyday, are examples of what we can find in the work exhibited in Malaga. Among them, some stand out as "Mother and child", "Composition", "Woman with raised arms", "Acrobat", "Olga Khokhlova with mantilla" or "Insect".
