This tour is a journey through the rise of modern art—exploring the personal, political, and dreamlike forces behind Cubism and Surrealism. We’ll uncover how Spanish artists like Dalí and Picasso helped shape a new visual language born from crisis, rebellion, and the unconscious—including a close look at Guernica, Picasso’s powerful response to war.
We’ll also briefly step into the realm of contemporary art, where bold works challenge meaning and extend the dialogue between art and society today.
If you're not pressed for time, you're welcome to end the experience with a toast on a nearby terrace—a chance to reflect, enjoy the view, and share impressions. I’m also happy to offer curated tips for discovering Madrid’s culinary, cultural, and artistic gems—insider favorites beyond the typical guides.
This premium private tour is crafted for curious minds seeking more than a conventional art visit—an invitation to explore not just what these works are, but why they still matter.

1Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia
This storytelling tour focuses on two of the most revolutionary movements in modern art: Cubism and Surrealism—both of which were deeply shaped by Spanish artists. Far from being peripheral figures, Spaniards like Picasso, Juan Gris, Dalí, Miró, and Maruja Mallo were crucial to the development and global impact of these movements. You’ll explore how they responded to personal trauma, political upheaval, and a rapidly changing world by breaking the rules of traditional art—fragmenting form, embracing dreams, and creating bold, symbolic works. From the fractured vision of Cubism to the wild subconscious of Surrealism, each stop reveals how Spanish artists helped redefine what art could be. The experience ends with a powerful reading of Picasso’s Guernica—the ultimate fusion of personal vision and political outcry.
