16 Picasso Museum in Ciutat Vella District in Barcelona, Spain

Pablo Picasso’s training as an artist began in 1890 when he was nine years old. His early works favored realism. During his Blue Period (1901 – 1904), he portrayed gloomy people in shades of blue and green. Museu Picasso in Barcelona has the world’s largest collection of paintings created during his youngest years. The permanent collection numbering over 4,200 pieces is displayed in five, Gothic style buildings dating from the 13th to the 15th centuries. This is the courtyard of Palau Aguilar. The museum opened in 1963, ten years before Spain’s famous painter died at age 91.
