About Reina Sofia National Museum of Art Center
As a cornerstone of Madrid’s famed Art Walk, the Reina Sofía Museum is a must for any art collection journey. Its unrivaled focus on Spanish modern and contemporary art, from Cubism to Surrealism, complements the Prado and Thyssen museums, offering a complete panorama of artistic evolution in the heart of the city.
The museum’s main building was originally the 18th-century Sabatini Hospital, later transformed into a modern art space.
Picasso’s Guernica, the museum’s star attraction, measures over 11.5 feet tall and 25 feet wide—far larger than most visitors expect.
The Jean Nouvel extension, added in 2005, features three striking glass elevator towers and a triangular steel-and-glass atrium.
The Reina Sofía houses Spain’s largest collection of 20th-century art, with nearly 2,000 works spanning from 1881 to the present.
The museum’s art library is open to the public and contains over 100,000 volumes, making it a major resource for art research.
