Museo Reina Sofia
The Museo Reina Sofia is a renowned modern art museum showcasing a wide collection of Spanish art from the 20th century, including everyone from Picasso to Solana. Opening for visitors in 1990, the Museo Reina Sofía has stood tall as a museum for modern Spanish despite the many challenges, both monetary and structural, it had to face along the way. Some of the highlights of the museum are the fascinating exhibitions of the two greatest 20th-century masters associated with Spain, Salvador Dali, and Pablo Picasso. Arguably, the most well-known artwork housed in the museum is the 1937 painting by Picasso, Guernica.
Amongst the world’s largest museums for modern art, the Museo Reina Sofia offers both national and international exhibitions in its many galleries, along with an extensive art collection. Holding the honor of being the 9th most visited art museum in the world, Museo Reina Sofia brought it approximately 4,425,000 visitors in 2019 alone. Apart from the art galleries and exhibitions, the museum also hosts a spectacular free-for-all library boasting an impressive collection of books, videos, and sound recordings.
