Picasso Museum, Munster (must see)

The Picasso Museum in Munster (Kunstmuseum Pablo Picasso Münster) is an art museum featuring an immense collection of work by renowned artist Pablo Picasso. Picasso was born in Spain in 1881 and was famous as a painter, sculptor, and printmaker. In 2000, this museum opened to the public — it is the only one devoted to Picasso in Germany.

The museum showcases a comprehensive collection of Picasso's lithographs, linocuts, and prints. It includes almost the entirety of his lithographic body of work. There is also a collection of photographs taken of Picasso. The Picasso Museum is housed in two adjoining historic buildings in the heart of the picturesque city center. The exhibition space covers 600 square meters over two floors.

This museum also boasts several hundred art pieces created by Picasso's friends and fellow artists, including Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, and Joan Miró. It regularly hosts temporary special exhibitions devoted to the artwork of Picasso and his contemporaries. A museum shop offers Picasso-related souvenirs and gifts. Those looking for a bite to eat will enjoy the charming little bistro called "Monsieur P."
