Full description

The Reina Sofía occupies a former hospital, extended with a striking red-roofed modern wing, and it tells the story of modern art in Spain. The centrepiece is Guernica, Picasso’s vast black-and-white response to the bombing of a Basque town in 1937, displayed with the sketches that led up to it.

Around it you’ll find rooms devoted to Dalí, Miró, Juan Gris and the Spanish avant-garde, as well as international contemporary art and changing exhibitions. The glass lifts on the facade and the internal garden are worth a look too.
