Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid

The Reina Sofia museum displays modern and contemporary Spanish art, and has a holding of about 100 works by Picasso, many of which are studies and drawings for Guernica, which hangs in room 206. His epic homage to the victims of the bombing of the Basque village in 1937 remains an emotive reminder of the conflict, division and suffering of Spain during the civil war and the Franco regime. After a visit to Spain in 1934, Picasso never again returned to his homeland.
