Centro de Arte Reina Sofía







Housed in a building that once served as an 18th century hospital, the Centro de Arte Reina Sofía is Spain’s most prominent collection of modern Spanish art, dating from the 20th century to the 1980s.

While the museum features the occasional non-Spaniard artist, the majority of the collection is strictly Peninsular. To give you an example of some of the art work that we saw, the last three pictures in this sequence are "Guernica" by Pablo Picasso, "Caracol, mujer, flor, estrella" by Joan Miró, and "El gran masturbador" by Salvador Dalí.
