The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sof\u00eda, or as most people call it, the Reina Sof\u00eda, attracts four million people per year.<\/strong> And probably 3,999,999 of them all gravitate here to see one thing: Pablo Picasso\u2019s<\/strong> striking, plus-sized painting, \u201cGuernica,\u201d<\/strong> a work of art that shocks and awes the viewer into grasping the brutality of war, in general, and the Spanish Civil War, in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there are 21,000 artworks in the collection<\/strong>, meaning there are a lot of hidden gems at Reina Sofia Museum. The museum has a focus on Spanish artists, but it also boasts works by an international cadre of famous artists as well. Like the Louvre in Paris<\/strong> with the \u201cMona Lisa,\u201d it\u2019s easy to get caught up in the frenzy<\/strong> to see \u201cGuernica.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you do, you\u2019ll be rewarded with lesser-known but stunning pieces of art, artists who don\u2019t get the attention they deserve, and relatively untrammeled swaths of the museum. Here is what else to see at the Reina Sof\u00eda Museum in Madrid.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
