Spain is world renowned for its incredible art and long history of innovation in the arts. Many of the 20th century art movements had their roots in Spain and among Spanish artists. In Madrid is the amazing museum El Prado-- the most important art museum in all of Spain--, and other important museums are all around the city. My favorite museum I've visited so far has been the Reina Sofia art museum. Its most important claim to fame is La Guernica, by Pablo Picasso. It's truly breathtaking. I knew it was large, but nothing prepared me for Picasso's massive masterpiece.
Other famous paintings and sculptures feature from high profile artists such as Salvador Dalí, Julio Gonzalez, Alberto Sanchez Perez, Oscar Dominguez and Gustavo Torner. I really love this museum, and I'm glad I've gotten to see such great and influential art.
