Introduction

The Reina Sofía Museum is a world-renowned modern and contemporary art museum in Madrid—a temple holding Picasso's masterpiece 'Guernica' and works by many Spanish modern masters, an important member of Madrid's 'Art Triangle' and a must-visit for modern art lovers. The Reina Sofía Museum is Spain's national museum of modern art, mainly collecting and showing modern and contemporary art since the 20th century, complementing the Prado Museum's classical paintings. The museum's most famous, most heart-stirring treasure is Pablo Picasso's monumental masterpiece 'Guernica'. This huge painting in black, white and grey was created by Picasso to condemn the brutality and suffering of war (especially the savage bombing of the town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War); with its twisted, fractured, pain- and cry-filled images, it expresses a profound, stunning indictment of war and a call for peace—one of the 20th century's most important, famous and influential artworks; standing before it, its moving power is palpable. Besides 'Guernica', the museum holds many masterpieces by two other Spanish modern giants—the surrealist Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró—and works by many other Spanish and international modern and contemporary artists, fully showing the glory of modern art. Visiting Madrid's Reina Sofía Museum, feeling the shock before 'Guernica' and experiencing masterpieces by Picasso, Dalí, Miró and others, is a profound and stunning modern art journey.
