Online tickets were easy to use and staff was very professional. Picasso's early life was interesting and his first home was nice to see. Also information of his later life.

We visited this museum when we were unable to get tickets for the art museum. We were very pleasantly surprised! We learned quite a bit about Picasso's early life and family and enjoyed seeing his childhood drawings. There was more art in the museum than we expected. The museum is located in his family's home and is rather small but there is a larger exhibition space a block away. We saw a wonderful exhibition there on his many pieces of art themed around Francoise Gilot. Our only suggestion would be for a few more benches in the exhibition hall.

The tour was outstanding and noted there was so much is did not know about the man. The art was spectacular and forced one to think behind the art. Moving on the answer to the art was in the next piece one viewed. Tje periods and relationship to the "day" was evident of Picasso's thinking and outlook of the time. It all was very interesting and well worth the visit.
