We got in very quickly, picked up an audio guide—it was very easy to listen to—and everything went perfectly. The museum is magnificent; the archaeological hall, located downstairs, is especially worth a visit—it features excavations of an ancient city from the Phoenician era.

Very nice museums with beatiful artwork from Picasso and also an exhibition of the Portugese artist Joana Vasconcelos. I already know her from an exhibition in Brussels some years ago, which was an extra surprise. Why not 5 stars ? Well because even the people with a ticket with a timeslot had to stand in line for 25 minutes to enter museo picasso. After all it was certainly worth waiting.
