Museo Reina Sofía



Hi-ho, hi-ho... it's back to work I go! Today's museum was the Museo Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, which houses a very interesting mix of sociological, literary, political and other cultural commentary told by way of the arts in all forms. I especially liked the vintage Spanish films that were playing, scattered throughout the behemoth four-story complex. I was there for hours--as long as I could stay standing--and probably saw about half of what is there. My favorite work was the Lichtenstein in the entry courtyard [pic 3]. But my favorite photo is of the kids on the elevator [pic 1]! They are looking out over the back entry courtyard, the other elevator shaft [pic 2], and the rooftops of Madrid. Spectacular!
