Description

Join a private tour through the Reina Sofia Museum Highlights. Explore the museum's collection of contemporary art, including works by Joan Miró, Juan Gris, Salvador Dalí, and Picasso's iconic 'Guernica.' Meet your guide and start your tour of the Reina Sofía National Museum, Madrid's answer to the MoMA. Admire the museum's impressive collection of works by luminaries such as Joan Miró, Juan Gris, Salvador Dalí, Ángeles Santos, Isidro Nonell, José Gutiérrez Solana, Richard Serra, and, of course, the iconic 'Guernica' by Picasso. Housed in what was once a hospital, founded in 1788 by King Carlos III, the museum was transformed in 1990 with 3 steel elevators in towers made of striking glass, designed by Ian Ritchie and Ove Arup. In 2005, a spectacular museum's new wing, designed by the acclaimed architect Jean Nouvel, featured Roy Lichtenstein’s eye-catching 'Brushstroke' sculpture in its courtyard. With over 30,000 pieces, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, and films, the Reina Sofía is a must-visit for art lovers. Delve deeply into the lives, personalities, artistic evolution, historical contexts, and compositional techniques of Spain’s 20th-century art giants mentioned earlier. The thoughtfully designed, immersive environment of the Reina Sofía, crafted by its architects, further enhances your experience, allowing for a deeper appreciation of the museum’s rich collection of contemporary art. The tour offers also a profound analysis of the artistic and social context surrounding Richard Serra’s 'Guernica Bengasi.' No guided visit is complete without an exhaustive look at Picasso’s 'Guernica.' Picasso's Guernica becomes the centerpiece of your private tour, offering a profound connection to its historical and artistic significance. Your guide will provide a comprehensive insight into Picasso's biography, social and political context, iconography, the artist’s circumstances, and diverse interpretations of the Guernica. Bring the genius of Spain’s modern artists to life in an engaging and enlightening manner, set against the backdrop of profound political and social upheaval.
