Casa Natal de Picasso
Address: Plaza de la Merced
Opening time: Daily 10am–8pm
Price: €1
The Casa Natal de Picasso – the house where Picasso was born – is home to the Fundación Picasso, a centre for scholars researching the painter's life and work. Exhibition space displays lithographs, etchings and washes by Picasso – mainly depicting women – while on the stairs are photos of the artist at various stages in his long life. Upstairs, a reconstructed reception room, furnished as it might have looked when Picasso was growing up here at the end of the nineteenth century, holds bed linen embroidered by the artist's mother, a canvas by his art-teacher father, and the infant Picasso's christening robe, used in the nearby Iglesia de Santiago.
