Environment

The Fundació Palau –The Palau Foundation- was created in order to conserve, to exhibit and to make more widely known the documentary and artistic estate of Josep Palau i Fabre.
Josep Palau i Fabre is acknowledged as being one of the world’s leading authorities on the life and work of Picasso, who was also a close personal friend.
Poet, playwright, short story writer and essayist, one of the outstanding figures of the Catalan literature of our time, Palau i Fabre has done much to connect Catalan culture with the most significant artistic currents of the 20th century.
A selection of the artworks in the holdings of the Fundació Palau is on permanent exhibition. The room devoted exclusively to Picasso is of very special interest, and there is also a large room devoted to 20th-century Catalan art, another devoted specifically to contemporary artists and documents room.
The Fundació Palau has important holdings of bibliographical and documentary material on Picasso, which are at the disposal of scholars from all over the world. The Foundation also organizes temporary exhibitions, lectures and other cultural events and activities in relation to the different facets of artistic creation in the visual arts, the theatre or poetry.
