When Picasso was a child, his mother told him that whatever he was, he would always be the greatest exponent, to which the artist replied that, “instead of all that, I decided to be painter, and I became Picasso”. His mother would never have imagined that her son would become a symbol of creative art and originator of an entire artistic trend to which almost all the prominence would be attributed and we will understand why after admirinng his works. With his curious and imaginative way of using shapes and using opaque colors, we will enjoy works such as: Picasso's rendition of "Las Meninas", "Science and Charity", "Roofs of Barcelona" and portraits of his parents, as well as different stories about his life and work that we will find in the museum.
