About Reina Sofia Museum

The Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid is one of the most prominent museums in the country and a major centre for contemporary and modern art. Housed in a former 18th-century hospital building called the ‘Hospital de San Carlos’, the Reina Sofia Museum opened in 1992 and named after Queen Sofia of Spain.

Together with the Prado Museum and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, it forms Madrid's famous Golden Triangle of Art.

The museum's collection includes around 20,000 works, primarily focusing on Spanish art from the 20th century to the present day, but it does feature some international artists as well.

• ‍Pablo Picasso: The collection includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, and ceramics spanning Picasso's career and shows his evolution as an artist and his ground-breaking contributions to modern art. The highlight of the collection is "Guernica," Picasso's masterpiece that depicts the horrors of the Spanish Civil War.
• ‍Salvador Dalí: A selection of his surrealistic paintings, sculptures, and drawings, which show his eccentric style and imaginative creativity.
• ‍Joan Miró: Known for his playful and abstract compositions, his use of bold colours, organic shapes, and symbolic imagery, reflecting his unique artistic vision.
• ‍Spanish Surrealism: The museum's collection includes works by other Spanish Surrealist artists such as Óscar Domínguez, Remedios Varo & Esteban Vicente.
• ‍Spanish Civil War Art: The museum has a collection of art related to the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).
