Picasso’s Birthplace

About a week ago I visited the birth home of Picasso in the lovely town of Malaga, in Southern Spain.  I wasn’t able to take photos of the interior but it was a wonderful experience.  They had the sitting room arranged very much like it was when Picasso was born, going off of descriptions of people who had actually been there.  Also a studio of Picasso’s father, José Ruiz y Blasco, with many of his paintings set up in the front room.   The rest of the home was filled items from Picasso and his family members.  Down stairs was a small museum featuring dozens of beautiful sketches of Picasso’s, which were great to see in person.  Picasso’s flat was on the second floor. He was born there on October 25, 1881 and he lived there for four years.
