El Turó School+ Picasso Museum
The school will specialise in art and art heritage, hand in hand with the Picasso Museum.
In the tandem arrangement between El Turó School+ Picasso Museum, art and art heritage will single out the education centre within the framework of its innovation process.
The goal is to work from an interdisciplinary perspective with inclusive teaching methods that create educational contexts in which skills are addressed through projects based around cultural heritage that is closer to student interests, with a special emphasis on visual arts in general, and the work of Pablo Picasso and the collection at the Picasso Museum in particular.
Leading centre and institution
El Turó School, located in the Nou Barris neighbourhood in Barcelona, is a public primary and nursery school with 225 students and 19 teachers.
The Picasso Museum is a leading centre displaying work from Pablo Picasso’s formative years. The museum's collection, which includes more than 4,200 works, has a very complete collection until Picasso’s Blue Period, with significant donations from the artist and other pieces from different periods of his artistic career. The educational project at the museum, which aims to share knowledge of the artist's work, emphasises the importance of observing and dialogue when appreciating works of art.
