The third museum of Madrid’s “Golden Triangle of Art” is the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia (or the Queen Reina Museum for short). The Reina’s main focus is showcasing Spanish art, and it delves more into modern art than the Thyssen-Normisza and the Prado. What makes the Reina Sofia so special is that it proudly showcases fantastic pieces by the 20th-century artists Dalí and Picasso. While many may think that three art museums in one trip is probably overkill, we assure you that the Reina isn’t to be missed as it showcases gorgeous masterpieces like Picasso’s Guernica. Visitors can also look forward to examining works by the famed abstract sculptor Eduardo Chillida and other Spanish greats like Juan Gris and Joan Miró.
