In Madrid, there are the famous "Triangle" museums. They are the most important three museums in the city that form a triangle to the south east of the Retiro. This triangle includes: The Prado (the Louvre of Madrid), Thyssen, and Reina Sofia. Since I have to visit the Prado with my history class, a few friends and I decided to visit the Reina Sofia last Saturday.
The Reina Sofia contains all contemporary art within the city. It is the most recently constructed of the three museums and the building itself is quite a piece of contemporary art. The most famous painters found within the Reina Sofia are Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, and Goya. Of course, Guernica by Picasso is the most famous work within the museum.
Guernica is the only painting we were not allowed to take a photo of, so I have plenty of amazing photos from the museum! I am posting a few of my favorites below. Sorry that there are more of Dali, he's my favorite!
The colors in the photo were just amazing in person!
