#24: Museu Picasso (pg 267, Listed as Ciutat Vella in the 2nd Ed, pg 260)

Sept. 18, 2009. After arriving in Barcelona at 8:30am, we checked in our hotel and our first stop was the Museu Picasso.
Quaint and beautiful Montcada Street (location of Museu Picasso).

There is a beutiful airy courtyard inside the museum.

Verdict: Again, I'm not a huge museum person, but this is Barcelona's most visited museums, so we felt we should go. And once we got there, the line was wrapped around out the door and down the street, so it must be worth seeing! It is the largest assemblage of Picasso works with approximately 3,600 Picasso paintings, drawings, engravings, etc.

Note:  I think it was a move in the right direction to make the Museum Picasso part of a more general entry in the 2nd Edition, listed the whole Gothic Quarter.  I'm not sure it's a "must do in the world before you die", but it's definitely a "must see while in Spain" experience.
