My purpose is not only to guide you through the Picasso Malaga Museum, but to help you understand deeply each work, connect with the essence of Picasso and live the museum in a way that few can offer. As an official guide with years of experience in the museum itself and a contemporary artist, my look goes beyond the data: I will show you the details that often go unnoticed, the hidden symbols, the emotions behind each stroke. On this tour you can enjoy a guided tour of the 12 rooms of the Permanent Collection with personalized attention and a close environment with freedom to ask and comment, where I will present you with a global overview of all Picasso’s work, technique and styles throughout his life. It lasts approximately 1 hour.
