The Arts

On the afternoon of our second day in Madrid, it had was planned that we should visit the Museo Reina Sofia, which is home to pieces Picasso and Dali, including the Guernica.  Upon arrival, we informed the students that they had to pick three pieces found within the exhibits and re-intact them using their own bodies. What surprised us the most was the immense size of the collection, leaving us unable to view the collection within the time we had. Although modern art can be hard to interpret the museum raised the question of how art reflected Spanish history, in comparison to the economic and physical history.
