Picasso's dream of having his favorite art exhibited in his home town of Malaga, Spain is finally coming to fruition, 50 years after Francisco Franco banned Picasso's "degenerate art."
The Museo Picasso has opened in Malaga's old quarter at the foot of Gibralfaro hill, in the shadow of the Moorish castle and Alcazaba fortress and beside a Roman Theater. Picasso's birthplace is 5 minutes away.
The inaugural exhibition, viewable through February, is "Picasso of the Picassos," featuring 87 works loaned by Picasso's relatives and museums in Spain and France.
The Picasso Museum is closed Monday. For more information, check the museum's website. Tickets can be purchased in advance from Unicaja.
