Positives:

  • Stroller-friendly layout: Wide ramps and a lift make it easy to move a stroller between floors.
  • Kid-focused activities: Workshops and a child audio guide keep kids engaged with hands-on art.

Challenges:

  • No food or drink inside: Plan snack breaks before or after your visit since galleries prohibit eating.
  • Mandatory adult supervision: Children under 14 must stay with an adult at all times in the museum.

I absolutely loved Picasso. And if I may dare to say this, I loved it more than Prado! It was very easy to understand Picasso's progression of thought and art work as he grew in life.

The audio guide worked well, though I really wish audio guides would somehow sim...

Great art and story telling. Well presented. Clean and well maintained facilities. Staff are all courteous and well informed. You can buy tickets from 9AM to 2PM if you want to visit on the same day, same hours. After that time tickets normally are sold out. It's recommended to get the tour with the audio version to appreciate the experience more.

Very good museum. Not many visitors, spacious halls, very well made audio guide, I recommend it. I have not seen Picasso's youth works before, they are amazing, he was a child prodigy. It is interesting to trace Picasso's development as an artist and changes in his work.
