    Das Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, kurz MNCARS, ist ein Kunstmuseum, Pinakothek und Bibliothek, in Madrid gelegen. Das spanische Nationalmuseum Zentrum der Künste Königin Sofia wurde am 10. September 1992 durch die namensgebende spanische Königin Sofia gemeinsam mit König Juan Carlos I. eingeweiht.

    Mit seiner Sammlung neuerer spanischer Kunst ersetzt es das frühere Museo Español de Arte Contemporaneo und ergänzt die berühmte Sammlung des Prado. Neben der Kunstausstellung gibt es eine Bibliothek mit ca. 40.000 Bänden, hauptsächlich zur Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts. Vor der Eröffnung als Nationalmuseum, wurde es bereits seit 1986 als Ausstellungsort für zeitgenössische Kunst, speziell der Plastik, als Centro de Arte Reina Sofía genutzt.

    Museo del Prado was focused on "ancient" painting while Sofia's is devoted to more modern painting (let's say one hundred years until now). The most popular item is Guernica, huge huge huge, but Dali's collection are also worthful.

    The Reina Sofia Gallery

    1 photo

    We didn't take many pictures today, instead we spent almost the entire day in the Reina (Queen)
    Sofia art gallery. Most of the artwork is from the 19th and 20th century, and the most famous painting is Picasso's Guernica. During the Civil War between the Republicans and the Francoists, the Air Force of Nazi Germany …

    Madrid - "I don't speak whatever you are speaking"

    9 photos

    NEVER stay in Hostel Sol. Disgusting. Incredibly far from everything. Mad. Sketch.

    Go on the Free Tour ASAP - basically afterwards you'll have a feel for the city and know what things you most want to see or go back to.

    Fabulous Tapas: Kaixo

    Madrid: The Epic Adventures and Sleepless Nights

    Madrid is the capital city of Spain and I would say it is a European New York City, they look very similar. Our self proclaimed 'epic adventure' began at the crack of dawn with no sleep, which segued into our 'world famous hostel.' We walked into a construction zone, literally. The hostel is being renovated and it was a mess! We also spent a few …

    Gettin' cultured

    Having seen most of what there is to see of the city, at least from the outside, we took Sunday to do the rest of what you are supposed to do in Madrid - see art. Madrid has at least three world class art museums - the Prado, the Reina Sofia, and the Thyssen - and the recent addition of Caixa Forum may add a fourth.

    In keeping with our …

    Bonjour tout le monde!


    Ce lundi, j'ai eu la chance de visiter Madrid à pied, avec un tour gratuit proposé par notre auberge de jeunesse. Bien que Madrid ne soit pas une ville reconnue pour ses attraits touristiques, il y a tout de même quelques points intéressants à voir.


    Le tour débuta à la Plaza de la Puerta del Sol, …

    Sun, Shopping and Sangria! Olé!

    We arrived in Madrid by 6pm and had a smooth transition to the hostel. It is a fairly new place to open so was still pretty cheap and was a great location - right on the Plaza Mayor. The first couple of days we dipped into the Spanish culture. We went to a flamenco show on our first night which was brilliant. The dancers and singers were so …

    Madrid en un día

    5 photos

    Después de dormir realmente muy bien, me desperté solo a las 6:30 de la mañana y lo primero que hice fue agarrar la guía Eurail (que completé toda con los detalles de cada uno de mis viajes y que perdí allá por Italia, no recuerdo bien en donde). Cómo había gastado de alojamiento más de lo que había presupuestado, había decidido dormir en el tren …

    As our flight to Santiago meant a change of planes in Madrid we decided to take a break and have a short stopover .

    We are so pleased that we did as we found it to be a vibrant city with interesting history, beautiful buildings, wonderful museums and art galleries and all within walking distance of the centre. Having said that, our feet …

    Museum day and flea markets!

    This morning, we all got up early ish, because we wanted to do things that we thought would be the best early. Mom and Anna wanted to go to some flea market thing that they have on Sundays, from 9 - 2, and Madison and I wanted to go to the Reina Sofia to see "Guernica" (and explore, as well), and go back to the Prado because we didn't get enough …

    Economic Comparison of the Capitals

    7 photos

    Even though the countries of Spain and Portugal border one another and share a long history filled with both conflict and partnership, it is clear after arriving in Madrid that the countries are still vastly different in terms of economic development and potential growth. As stated in the previous blog post, Lisbon and Portugal as a whole is a …
