Museu Picasso ( Click here )
For a portrait of the artist as a young man, head to Museu Picasso, which showcases per-
haps the world's best collection of the master's early work. Picasso lived in Barcelona
between the ages of 15 and 23, and elements of the city undoubtedly influenced his work,
from the dramatic, wide-eyed frescoes hanging in the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya
to the imaginative trencadís -style mosaics (pre-Cubist some say) of Gaudí. The museum's
setting inside five contiguous medieval mansions adds to the appeal.
