started of
my trip to Spain with a visit to Madrid, the capitol of Spain
since 1562. My tour guide led me first to the Reina Sophia Museum,
an art museum. He told me that it is the second most visited
museum in Madrid and that it held works of Pablo Picasso, Joan
Miro, and lots others. One of the paintings I saw there was Picasso’s
Guernica. It is entirely black and white and shows the bombing
of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War.
We then went to the Waxworks Museum, which was full of over 400
wax sculptures of historical figures and today’s celebrities.
That was really fun. Afterwards though, the day came to an end
and I was dropped off at my hotel room, were I planned what country
I was going to next. |
