Reina Sofia Museum of Art

About

As Madrid's old streets gradually widen, a building with high ceilings and expansive windows comes into view. Once a hospital, this is now a space steeped in the breath of contemporary art. Designed by Fernández de Amo, the building carries a weight that seems to reach back through time, leading visitors between past and present. Here, shadows and voices that seem to carry the trace of Picasso's works seem to linger in the very air. The currents of contemporary art flow along the walls of this building, settling quietly into the landscape of Madrid.
