The document summarizes the process of redesigning the website for the Museu Picasso in Barcelona between 2007-2008. The museum underwent a new phase with new projects, events, and educational services. The redesigned website aimed to be innovative, knowledge-generating, and accessible to different audiences. It provides multimedia features, virtual tours, search functions, and opportunities for user participation and feedback. The redesign involved defining goals, content, and functionality with a focus on Picasso and his connection to Barcelona.
