Museu Picasso is located in Barcelona, Spain. This museum is home to a permanent collection of 3,800 pieces of Pablo Picasso's artwork. The collection includes pieces that Picasso created during his youth, in particular pieces from Picasso's blue period. This work was given to the museum by Picasso himself. The museum also exhibits some of the artist's later work. The Museu Picasso opened in 1963, and says on its website that the exhibition represents the artist's deep connection with the city of Barcelona.
The Musee Picasso is situated in Antibes, France. This building was once known as the Chateau Grimaldi, although the name was changed to the Musee Picasso in 1966. Picasso donated 23 of his paintings and 44 of his drawings to the museum, which are now exhibited in the permanent exhibition. The museum has since purchased more of Picasso's works and received more donated paintings from Jaqueline Picasso.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is based in New York City, United States. This museum showed an exhibition of 300 pieces of Picasso's works in 2010, and the museum continues to show Picasso's work in its permanent collection of art. This permanent collection includes pieces from the artist's famous blue, rose and cubism periods.
The museum of modern art is situated in New York City. The museum holds a collection of Pablo Picasso's artwork that is open to the viewing public. One of the pieces that this museum exhibits in its collection is the painting that Picasso named "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon". This is a painting from the artist's African influenced period. The work is a representation of a sailor walking into a brothel, although the museum comments on its website that one of the only clues to the painting's meaning lies in its name. Avignon was once famous for its brothel.
