Museo Casa Natal de Picasso

The Picasso Foundation is located in the painter's birthplace, in the Plaza de la Merced of Malaga. Picasso's parents came from families that move to Malaga in the early nineteenth century. His father was from Cordoba, and his mother from Genova, hence the un-Spanish surname he became famous under. Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born in Malaga on the October 25, 1881. In the year 1891 his family moved to La Coruña, then in 1895 to Barcelona, where he stayed until 1904, the year he moved to Paris. But Picasso never forget about his native Andalucia, and returned to Malaga four times, in the summers of 1895,1896,1987 and winter 1900-1901.
