Madrid Day 1 - Reina Sofia

After the Banksy we walked to the Reina Sofia national museum of art, mainly to see Picasso's Guernica. The museum was crowded but we enjoyed the temporary exhibit of Maruja Mallo's work and the permanent collection of 20th century artists including Dali, Magritte and of course Picasso.
As soon as we entered the Guernica room a group of protesters began chanting "Stop Genocide" and sat on the floor in front of the painting. It was a chilling reminder of Picasso's message and how little has changed.
