Kunstmuseum Picasso

Münster


A treat for fans of Pablo Picasso, one of the 20th century's seminal artists, in this 18th-century neoclassical mansion whose changing exhibits are drawn from a prized collection of around 800 lithographic works. The museum also owns graphics by Georges Braque, Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse.

It's the only museum in Germany exclusively focused on Picasso.
