A museum devoted to the works of Pablo Picasso has opened in the Spanish city where he was born.

The Museo Picasso is housed in Malaga’s 16th-century Palacio de los Condes de Buenavista, and contains about 200 works, including sketches, paintings and sculptures.

Most of the pieces are from the collections of the artist’s daughter-in-law, Christine Ruiz-Picasso, and his grandson, Bernard Ruiz-Picasso.

Picasso was born in Malaga in 1881. He had hoped to open a gallery there one day, but he lived the last years of his life in France, refusing to return to Spain while General Francisco Franco remained in power.
