Casa Museo Picasso (Picasso House Museum), La Coruna
Picasso House Museum is a captivating tribute to the formative years of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso. The museum is situated in the very building where the Ruiz Picasso family resided from 1891 to 1895, after moving from M谩laga. This period, during which Picasso was just nine to thirteen years old, was instrumental in shaping his early artistic talent. The apartment, found on the second floor of 14 Calle Payo G贸mez, preserves its original structure, complete with wooden galleries and period furniture, allowing visitors to step back in time and experience the atmosphere in which Picasso's creativity first flourished.
The museum recreates the ambiance of Picasso's childhood home and displays reproductions of 33 works, including four pieces by his father, Jos茅 Ruiz Blasco, and the rest by the young Picasso himself. The collection spans various artistic expressions, featuring oil paintings on canvas and wood, pencil and pen drawings, inks, charcoals, and watercolors. Among the exhibits is an original engraving by Picasso, offering a rare glimpse into his artistic evolution. These works reflect his precocious talent and the profound influence of his surroundings in A Coru帽a, where his father taught art at a nearby school.
In addition to its artistic displays, the Picasso House Museum also serves as a window into life in La Coru帽a during the late 19th century, providing context for the city's impact on Picasso's early development. The preserved structure and original furnishings contribute to the museum's authentic atmosphere, making it not only a gallery of youthful creativity but also a poignant exploration of Picasso's roots. Visitors are invited to ring the bell to enter, stepping directly into the rooms where Picasso first experimented with artistic expression, setting the stage for his future as a revolutionary figure in modern art.
