Art and Culture in Madrid

"If you’re into art, but El Prado is just too classic for you, the Reina Sofia Museum is the one art venue you should visit. Having opened its doors in the 1990s, it fittingly hosts 20th-century contemporary art, from paintings to installations, paintings, videos, and even performances. Its most famous pieces are Picasso’s “Guernica” and Dali’s “Face of the Great Masturbator.” The museum is located in a former 18th-century hospital on the city’s Art Promenade, but it also has two free-admission venues in El Retiro park: the Glass Palace and the Velasquez Palace." - MATADOR_NETWORK
