When it opened on March 9, 1963, Picasso was still alive, it was the first museum in the world to specialize in Picasso's works. The museum is located in a narrow alley, in five 13-15th century palaces in Ribeira, with typical Gothic architecture. The building is surrounded by an open-air atrium with an open-air staircase leading to the main floor. In order to protect the works, visitors should keep their bags.

Picasso (1881-1973) was born in Malaga, Spain on October 25, 1881. At the age of 14, he moved to Barcelona to study painting, leaving many city paintings. Picasso and later moved to Paris to start a life page. 1890-1897: Early years Picasso's father was an art teacher. He had been involved in painting since he was a child. When he was eight years old, he completed his first oil painting. He painted a spear knight on a bullring. At the age of 12, the style of painting was like Raduelle, one of the three masters of Renaissance art. In 1895, Picasso was 14 years old. His father was sent to work at the well-known Longha Academy of Fine Arts in Barcelona. Picasso sketched in classical art and still life, passed the entrance examination, successfully entered San Fernando in Madrid two years later. Picasso rarely goes to class and always visits art galleries. 1897-1901: period of schooling Moving from her birthplace to Málaga to Barcelona was a turning point in Picasso's style. Picasso's mastery of lines and colors was perfect and his expression was strong. In 1897, Picasso completed the painting "Science and Compassion", his father appeared as a doctor in the painting. Picasso made many friends, and some became lifelong. He painted portraits of many friends, emphasizing the outlines of the characters with strong and solid lines, with a little color on the background. At this time, Picasso painted the first painting with an abstract orientation. 1901-1904: The blue period Picasso was under nineteen when he first entered the world of Paris, when the Impressionist artist played an important role. Influenced by many Impressionist masters, Picasso was keen on color and had the shadow of Cézanne. Later, the style of painting turned to Fauvism. Within a year, Picasso experimented with various forms of painting. The death of a friend stained Picasso's world. Most of the works in the blue period were completed in Barcelona. He has changed color and subject matter a lot, focusing on prisons, mental hospitals or people suffering from sexually transmitted diseases. The prisoner series shows that they are the victims of society and their lives are desperately tortured by disease. 1904-1906: The Pink Period After the blue period, Picasso entered the pink period with Cubism. Picasso is fascinated by pink characters such as circus performances, street performers, jugglers and clowns. Showing their lives, depression, dreams, short-lived happiness, lonely clowns often appear in the works. 1917-1953: the metamorphosis period Picasso followed Cezanne-style Cubism, which indicated that Cubism was coming, it was a revolutionary breakthrough in the history of modern art. The "Avignon Girl" of 1907 is a representative work. The five nudes in the painting surround the foreground still life. In 1909, when analytic cubism appeared, Picasso and Braque influenced each other, and the two became pioneers of cubism. After 1914, Picasso's style of painting began to turn from abstract to concrete. He felt that he wanted to return to the lines of the sketch, but he did not give up cubism. In 1921, Picasso was fascinated by the world of theatre and dance. The "Three Musicians" returned to the classics to rediscover the tradition and to innovate again. 1937 was a watershed moment in Picasso's artistic career. During this period, a series of fancy paintings, including "The Crying Woman", "The Woman in a Hat", "Mary Taylor", etc., these paintings have in common the portrait is vertically asymmetric. When the Nazis captured Paris in 1940, Picasso's little girl neighbour changed the signboard from white to red when she attracted the pigeons, was killed by the Nazis. Picasso drew several white pigeons to mourn the little girl, and since then "white pigeons" have represented peace. 1953-1973: Old age The older Picasso was, the more he painted like a child, the later works were more "rough" than the earlier ones. Following Picasso's words: "I have pursued painting like a child all my life." Picasso has loved many women , Ji Qilian is his last wife. In 1953, Picasso, 72, married his 26-year-old wife, Ji Qilian painted more than 400 portraits for her, the largest number of Picasso's many lovers. Ji Qilian inspired Picasso's new artistic creation. He invented a new printmaking technique, using multiple colors to print on the same plate, breaking the original monolithic frame of each template, which is a breakthrough in the history of printmaking. On April 8, 1973, one day before Picasso's death, he was accompanied by Ji Qilian to take the elevator home.
