Casa Museo Picasso is in the apartment building at Rúa Payo Gómez, 14, in A Coruña, where Pablo Picasso lived with his family from 1891 to 1895. The small museum gives a close look at his early life in the city, with works by the young artist, prints of his paintings and objects connected with the family home. Picasso completed more than 200 works in A Coruña and held his first exhibition there at age 14. Check the current schedule before setting out, as the museum is closed on Mondays and Sundays.
Picasso’s years in A Coruña
Picasso lived with his family in this apartment building from 1891 to 1895, while his father taught art at a nearby school. The years in A Coruña were an important part of his early artistic life: he completed more than 200 works in the city and held his first exhibition there at age 14.
The museum focuses on that period, giving visitors a view of the family home and the young artist’s work. The apartment is preserved, though its interior does not recreate the crowded look of a typical 19th-century home.
