Reina Sofía National Art Centre

Spain's national museum of twentieth-century art is the Reina Sofía National Art Centre. The museum, named after Queen Sofia, was officially opened on September 10, 1990. It's near the Atocha railway and metro stations in Madrid, at the southern extremity of the so-called Golden Triangle of Art.

The museum focuses mostly on Spanish art. The museum's highlights include exceptional collections of Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dal, two of Spain's finest 20th-century masterpieces. Picasso's 1937 artwork Guernica is the museum's most recognized masterpiece. Along with its rich collection, the museum's various galleries host a mix of national and international temporary exhibits, making it one of the world's major museums for modern and contemporary art. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, it only drew 1,248,480 visitors in 2020, a 72 percent decrease from the previous year, yet it still placed sixth on the list of the world's most-visited art museums.

Location: Calle de Santa Isabel 52, Madrid, Comunidad de Madrid 28012
