The Reina Sofía Museum main jewel is Picasso's "Guernica", a 20th century icon and one of the most powerful emblems against war crimes. Are you sure that you understand why this painting became the legend it has become? Modern art usually expresses emotions: any man can feel and be moved in front of it. But it has been created by artists with a rich artistic background, and very often most of their message is lost or misunderstood.
Our guided tours lead you through 20th century gathering the keys that will help you understand this museum's masterpieces, and, hopefully, some other museums' ones too!
"Reina Sofía essentials " will cover representative works by the most influential Spanish artists of the 20th century. The universal Picasso, Miró and Dalí will be joined by their revolutionary colleagues Juan Gris and Julio González among others, to come to our contemporary living legend: Tapiés. This tour will, of course include Picasso's Guernica.
Madrid Original® 's "Rivals: Picasso, Miró and Dalí" would cover a selection of 16 works of those three universal painters, created before the end of Spanish Civil War. This historic event will mark the limit of the period when the three could be considered to continue at the avant-garde of Modern Art, before new generations opened new trends and left them somehow behind. In our selection, we would include 7 Picasso ("Guernica" among them), 4 Miró and 5 Dalí.
"A morning with Picasso" guided visit will cover 10 works, representative of all his periods present in the Museum, from his early productions in "Belle Epoque" Paris to his "The painter and his model" 1960's series.
The Reina Sofía Museum is Spain’s contemporary art gallery in Madrid, and, covering contemporary art from 1900 till today, it deserves also a full-day scholar-led visit.
