The Picasso Museum in Barcelona is a key reference for understanding the formative years of Pablo Ruiz Picasso. The genius of the young artist is revealed through the more than 3,800 works that make up the permanent collection. Furthermore, the Museu Picasso, opened in 1963, also reveals his deep relationship with Barcelona: an intimate, solid relationship that was shaped in his adolescence and youth, and continued until his death. The history of the Picasso Museum in Barcelona is the chronicle of the artist’s firm wish to leave the imprint of his art in our city. Thanks to the wishes of Picasso and his friend and personal secretary, Jaume Sabartés, Barcelona now has the youthful work of one of the twentieth century’s most significant artists.

The idea of creating a Gaudí House Museum in the Güell Park arose from the Association of Friends of this architect, an entity founded in 1952 with the objective of celebrating the centenary of his birth. The organisation, which to begin with had the Palau Güell as its head office, by the end of the 50’s needed a new space from which to manage its activities. Therefore, the association purchased this house – in which Gaudí lived for twenty years with his niece and where his father died – from the Chiappo’s, an Italian family who had a musical instruments shop, and inaugurated the House Museum on the 28th of September of 1963 under the direction of Josep Maria Garrut. Since 1992, the Foundation of the Managing Board of the Temple of the Sagrada Familia has been in charge of managing this location, which operates in coordination with the different departments which make up the Sagrada Familia.

This site was originally occupied by a Roman necropolis (cemetery) that was in use from the 4th to 6th centuries. This was discovered during excavations under the church in the 1960s. Santa Maria del Mar was built during the reign of King Jaume II, who also oversaw construction of Barcelona's cathedral. Founded to commemorate the recent Catalan conquest of Sardinia, Santa Maria del Mar symbolizes the medieval naval supremacy of the House of Barcelona. Designed by Berenguer de Montagut and begun in 1324, Santa Maria del Mar ("St. Mary of the Sea") was completed 55 years later. Its name derives from its representation of maritime success, its location on the seashore, and its use by the merchants and sailors of medieval Barcelona.
