The Pablo Picasso Museum in Malaga is a wonderful tribute to this great and innovative artist of the twentieth centuary. It had been a long time desire of the artist himself, as well as his family, that he should have a presence in his birthplace city of Mlaga. The Picasso Museum is one of only three in the world dedicated exclusively to the artist. He was one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century being as he was both an innovator of artistic styles and techniques and thus changed the course of modern art. The Picasso Museum is located in the historic city center and is housed in the wonderful 16th. centuary Palacio de Buenavista. The majority of the permanent collection is exhibited in the Palacio de Buenavista.This large, noble house is typical of Andalusian architecture of that period with its blend of Renaissance and Mudejar influence. Christine Ruiz Picasso, the principal donor of the funds, had expressed her wish that the building should be of typical Andalusian architecture and this indeed is a fitting monument to house the great man's works. In its twelve halls, the Picasso Museum displays amost 200 works of art which constitute the permanent collection. The art gallery also include 4 other halls for temporary exhibits. Completing the museum facilities are an assembly hall, a library, an educational department and an investigation and a promotion center. The main collection is principally made up of works donated, or on loan, from Christine Ruiz-Picasso, daughter-in-law of the artist, and her son Bernard, grandson of Picasso.The museum opened with 204 permanent works of which 133 are due to Christines collaboration. An additional 49 works are on free permanent loan for a period of 10 years. Another 40 pieces are on loan from Bernard for the period of one year. Of incalculable value, this collection consists of works and paintings that Picasso gave to his family members and the majority of the exhibits in the collection have not been seen in public before.
