Meeting the Great Artist Picasso Up Close

Throughout Picasso's life, he was a young genius, gained worldwide fame in his middle age, and his later works went directly into the Louvre. From 1881 until his death in 1973, he followed the changes of the times, and his creative style evolved continuously, making him a concrete embodiment of modern art history.

Appreciating his artistic works always inspires many people to explore their inner thoughts and curiosity, looking at people, things, and the world from different perspectives.

The art gallery showcases his precious works spanning over a century, gathering Picasso's painting works from different periods of his over seventy-year professional career, including sketches, drafts, films, and more. Here, visitors can closely observe Picasso's transition from the early academic style to fragmented figurative images to fully abstract works, experiencing his rational values and techniques in painting and sculpting.

In seemingly simple manuscript works, it is able to directly reveal the soft emotions hidden, suppressed, or overlooked deep inside him, and shape a unique personal artistic style through the gentle strokes projecting and contrasting with the characters with strong internal roles, which is a spiritual feast for everyone who loves art.

Art new exhibition and multiple interactive experiences

In addition to painting exhibitions, you can also participate in various peripheral activities such as light and shadow interactions, installation art, hands-on experiences, interactive games, etc., to experience the creations of great artists here.

Recently, the exhibition "Unfinished Gaze - Picasso and Cat Installation Art Exhibition" is on display. The exhibition explores the symbolism of cats as inspiration muses through Picasso's cats and installation art, showcasing a subtle and profound dialogue between humans and art, humans and animals.

Audiences are not only spectators, but also a part of the "gaze." In the gaze between the cat's eyes and the gaze of the artwork, a transcendent interactive experience beyond time and space is constructed.

6 major thematic units, a brand new interactive cat device, upgraded AR interactive experience, and a new Picasso stamp will take you on an artistic journey that is more than just an exhibition.

The flash event of Picasso Art Museum X Meatball has also started, which is a collision of sparks between Meatball and Picasso Art Museum. Everyone is welcome to come and check in. The scene has been carefully arranged with check-in gifts, limited edition check-in stamps, and other surprises.
