Reina Sofía Museum. ITINERARY

Among other things, you’ll see works by artists of such a standing as Salvador Dalí, Maruja Mallo, Juan Gris, Joan Miró or by the great Pablo Picasso whose El Guernica is the most admired and contemplated work in all the museum.
This tour will let you learn about some of the milestones of the artistic movements of the early XX century, such as the Cubism or the Surrealism that marked a “before and after” in Art History.
Taking photos of Guernica is allowed
At the Reina Sofía Museum it has been decided to authorize the capture of images of Picasso’s famous Guernica, as long as flash is not used. The museum’s newly established administration, under the direction of Manuel Segade, has reviewed its policy regarding photography of Pablo Picasso’s iconic work. This change has as its main objective the “normalization” of visits to the museum, as sources linked to the contemporary art center have indicated.
As of September 1, the prohibition on photographing the historic painting has been revoked, thus aligning the policy related to this piece with the regulations in force in the rest of the museum, which allow the taking of photographs without the use of artificial lights or devices for self-portraits.
