Museo Picasso Málaga

The idea was first mooted in 1953 by Pablo Picasso and Juan Temboury Álvarez, then Málaga’s Provincial Delegate of Fine Arts. The painter wanted his work to have a place in Málaga, the city of his birth, but the plan soon fell apart. Christine Ruiz-Picasso, widow of the artist’s eldest son, Paul Ruiz-Picasso, came into contact with Málaga’s municipal authorities in connection with the exhibitions Picasso clásico and Picasso, primera mirada, held at the Episcopal Palace of Málaga in 1992 and 1994, respectively.
