The Picasso Museum attracts tourists from all over the world not only because of its rich content, but also because of where it is located. The museum's collection is housed in one of the city's most beautiful 19th-century buildings.
The museum's collection contains paintings painted by the famous artist in the last 20 years of his career. It is believed that this period was the most productive, so it arouses the greatest interest among art connoisseurs. But this period also causes and heated debates among art historians from all countries of the world. The interest is due to the fact that the creations created by the artist at this time, characterised no other than "artistic hooliganism", as if Picasso re-started searching for his place in painting and creative "I". Paintings of this period are characterised by a riot of colours and inexpressible artistic audacity, they seem to ooze a sense of dissatisfaction with everything done before.
In addition to Picasso's canvases, there are also paintings by other artists whose works belong to what is known as the New Age. These include Cézanne, Chagall, Monet, Matisse, Utrillo and others. A special place is given to a collection of paintings by Paul Klee, as well as a rare collection of photographs, the authorship of which belongs to David Douglas, who gained worldwide fame thanks to his pictures for Life magazine. It was he who captured Pablo Picasso on film in various everyday situations. There are over 200 photographs in this collection.
Everything in the museum has been collected by father and daughter Siegfried and Angela Rosengart.
