The Museo Reina Sofía Collection and Galleries
Even schoolchildren know the name of Pablo Picasso, one of Spain's great painters. While the museum's collection includes a number of his works, the jewel in their holdings is "Guernica", arguably the most famous, significant of Picasso's works.
Other prominent Spanish artists also have their own rooms throughout the museum. Salvador Dali, Julio González and Miró are three other artists that have separate rooms showcasing their paintings. "The Great Masturbator," for example, is a famous Dali painting included in the museum's collection.
The permanent collection at the Museo Reina Sofia is displayed on the second and fourth floors of the Sabatini building and the ground and first floors of the Nouvel building. They are divided into three collections showcasing 20th century art from 1900 to 1945, 1945 to 1968, and 1962 to 1982. The museum also offers numerous temporary exhibitions, with work from artists like Ree Mortan and Carl Andre. Check the calendar of exhibitions here.
