The Pablo Picasso Museum of Art Münster is Germany's only Picasso museum and delights visitors with a variety of changing exhibitions.

The Pablo Picasso Museum of Art Münster is Germany's only Picasso museum. It houses the world's most extensive collection of Pablo Picasso's lithographs as well as other Picasso holdings in various artistic techniques and from different creative periods. Large collections of works by his fellow artists Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Joan Miró and Henri Matisse are also among the museum's treasures.

In changing exhibitions, the Picasso Museum illuminates the multi-faceted oeuvre of the Spaniard by placing his graphic work in dialogue with painting and sculpture. Such cross-references are also explored in the museum's exhibitions dedicated to his artistic companions. In keeping with the spirit of its namesake, the museum is a house of constant change that attracts visitors with special exhibitions several times a year.

In 2010, on the occasion of its 10th anniversary, the museum was renamed from Graphikmuseum Pablo Picasso Münster to Kunstmuseum Pablo Picasso Münster. In spring 2020, the house on Picassoplatz welcomed its 1.5 millionth visitor.

History information

History of the building:

The exhibition rooms of the Pablo Picasso Museum are housed in two historic buildings, the Hensenbau and Druffel'schen Hof. The two buildings were joined together at the end of the 1990s to form an overall architectural complex. The building's location on Picassoplatz in Königsstraße underlines its impressive appearance with its beautiful noble courtyards. The Druffel'sche Hof is one of the most important buildings of the classical period in Münster.
