Citorah says
The Museo Casa Natal Picasso (formerly the Fundación Picasso Museo Casa Natal) is the house where Picasso was born, at Plaza de la Merced 15, declared a national monument in 1983. Picasso was born in Málaga on 25 October 1881 and spent his first ten years there; the rooms cover his family, his childhood and his training under his father, José Ruiz Blasco, a drawing teacher.
