When your eyes and mind hit Gaudí-overload,
head to the Barrio Chino's Picasso Museum (Museu Picasso) for a change
of pace. While most people know Pablo Picasso for his distorted portraits, this
museum displays his work on a timeline of sorts, allowing you to follow his
progression from the more controlled works of his early years to the more
whimsical paintings and sculptures from the end of his career.
Make sure you dedicate plenty of time to Picasso: the
museum itself holds more than several thousand pieces by him and artists like
El Greco and Rembrandt from whom he drew inspiration.Once you've toured, take
some time to peruse Nou de Les Ramblas, where many of the galleries and shops
are devoted to Picasso and his style of artwork.For €11 EUR (or approximately
$15 USD) you can visit the Picasso Museum Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m.
to 8 p.m. Guided tours are available.
