The Reina Sofia Museum is located at one end of the Paseo del Arte, known in English as the Art Walk, and houses works by Salvador Dali, Joan Miro and Juan Gris, as well as Picasso’s famous work El Guernica.
This stunning journey through Spanish contemporary art is divided into three different itineraries: "The Incursion of the 20th Century: Utopia and Conflict (1900-1945)", "Is the War Over? Art in a Divided World (1945-1968)", and "From Revolt to Postmodernity (1962-1982)". The museum's star piece, El Guernica, is one of the most important works by Pablo Picasso. Shown by the government of the Republic at the 1937 International Exposition in Paris, this mural depicts the pain and suffering of the victims of the bombing of Guernica on 26April, 1937.
