About Reina Sofía Museum

Guernica asks for a pause that a phone screen cannot provide. In front of Picasso's composition, observe the figures, the gestures and the scale before searching for a ready-made interpretation. Then extend the visit through the modern and contemporary collections, following the updated map.

The main site occupies the Sabatini and Nouvel buildings: check the recommended entrance for your ticket and leave some margin to get your bearings. There is no advantage in turning this museum and the Prado into a race on the same day.
