DAY 4

Today, we took a trip to two museums that are very renown in Madrid.
1. Museo del Prado
It features one of the world's finest collections of European art, from the 12th century to the early 19th century, based on the former Spanish Royal Collection. Founded as a museum of paintings and sculpture, it also contains important collections of more than 5,000 drawings, 2,000 prints, 1,000 coins and medals, and almost 2,000 decorative objects and works of art. Sculpture is represented by more than 700 works and by a smaller number of sculptural fragments. The painting collection comprises about 7,800 paintings, of which only about 1,300 are at public display, mainly because of the museum's lack of space.[2] A new, recently opened wing enlarged the display area by about 400 paintings, and it is currently used mainly for temporary expositions. El Prado is one of the most visited sites in the world, and it is considered to be among the greatest museums of art.

2. Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Museo Reina Sofía)
This is Spain's national museum for 20th century art. We went in only to see the Guernica, Pablo Picasso's most famous painting in the Sofía.
Unfortunately, we were unable to take photo's in either museum.
