The Museo Picasso M\u00e1laga (MPM) is one of two galleries devoted to the M\u00e1laga painter in his hometown. The two hundred eighty-five works which make up the MPM collection include Picasso’s revolutionary innovations, as well as the wide variety of styles, materials and techniques he mastered. They stretch from the first academic studies to his vision of classicism, via the overlapping planes of Cubism, ceramics, his interpretations of the past masters and his paintings from the seventies. Near the museum are tea shops and other establishments with the same style, and after your visit, a nice walk around the central area is very inviting.<\/p>\n
