CREATIVITY: MUSEO NACIONAL CENTRO DE ARTE REINA SOFIA.

3/17/2014

As fantastic luck would have it, we were in Madrid during the Salvador Dalí exhibit at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. The Reina Sofía museum is known for a variety of works, and houses Picasso's Guernica (and yes, it was breathtaking to behold).

I saw so many pieces for the first time, and I was truly moved beyond explanation. It was so hard to resist taking photos, but after the third museum attendant snapped at me, I felt compelled to stop giving Americans a bad name and resigned myself to taking copious notes. Thanks to the internet, I was able to arrange this mini-gallery of my absolute favorites. My favorites from the Museo del Prado coming soon!

That's so cool! I am learning about all these artists in my Spanish Civ class. It's making me want to go to Spain so bad! I bet Guernica was amazing! I've heard it's gigantic! Last May, I got to go to a Frida and Diego art show in Atlanta and it was so cool, but I wasn't allowed to take pictures either :(

Yes, Guernica is GIGANTIC. It has its very own room in the building... so amazing. Spain is gorgeous. I was able to do so many things because my Dad and his wife lived there until a couple months ago. I haven't seen any Frida paintings up close... I bet that was fantastic.
