Museu Picasso
Barcelona's Picasso Museum has the most important and exhaustive collections of the works of Pablo Picasso's youth and education, in particular the ones he did between 1895 and 1904. At the Museum, you can view Picasso's childhood sketches (some completed when he was only 9 years old) and see a few paintings from his Blue and Rose periods, which were spent in Barcelona. These works are considered to be some of his best. In 1999 the museum acquired two more medieval mansions for its exhibition space, increasing the museum's size by a third. This additional space is used for temporary exhibitions.
