Reina Sofia Museum and Gernika

A few blocks from the Prado is the Reina Sofia Museum, where they keep the more modern stuff, mostly Dali and Miro and Picasso. Interestingly, it was just as crowded this Saturday afternoon as the Prado.
The Reina Sofia Museum








A long line to get in










Hello, Dali!











Goodbye, Dali, some would say







Dali's "The Enigma of Hitler"; really?








They allow pix all over the Reina Sofia, but not in the Guernica room, where 
four guards have all they can handle keeping people from snapping pix; I got 
mine from the adjoining room, but still got yelled at









Ditto







In one of the adjoining rooms they have studies Picasso did for the final production











Maybe color would have worked




















This is Picasso's rather forgettable tribute to all those 
fallen in WWII
