It was more of a visit to get a closer look at iconic paintings. The truth is that I loved it, because there wasn't a long line. I was able to take pictures of the paintings I liked. It was wonderful

The richness of the collections - the way the Reina Sofia tells some of the modern history of Spain through art, the construction of Guernica through Dora Mar's photographs, the outstanding and uncrowded Thyssen-Bornemisza

Anna Christina was a wonderful guide for the Reina Sofia. I learnt so much. Finding Anna Christina was tricky though as the instructions need to be updated to explain the meeting point is inside the museum entrance by the library and that the entrance only opens at 10am.

I preferred the visit to the Prado Museum because it was set up differently albeit by the same guide. It was also richer in information about the historical and cultural background of the time when the works were created. The first part at the Reina Sofia museum, I found the museum's reception of the group poorly organized, with lots of downtime. The guide in presenting the works gave so much space for open-ended questions to the group about the feelings the paintings conveyed that I found it scattershot. The guide's knowledge of the works was impeccable.
