Today has been a long day, and it's only going to get longer when I board the bus for Sevilla at 1 am... Anyway, here's a quick rundown:
My day began this morning at el museo Reina Sofia, one of Madrid's "Big Three" museums (most famous for Picasso's Guernica). I had visited the museum last time I was in Madrid, but I found myself attracted to different works the second time around. I only made it halfway through the second floor, but several things caught my eye: the glass elevators (!!!), Calder's mobile in the courtyard, Spanish Civil War propaganda, and Schlemmer's Triadic Ballet.
After a filling vegetarian lunch (Mediterranean Salad, stuffed mushrooms, spinach quiche, tofu, whole grain rice with vegetables, and fruit mousse) at Al Natural, I headed to the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. The large collection boasts works by Goya, Sorolla, Picasso, Miro, and hundreds of other artists. We mainly focused on the art on the first floor (17th century) and third floor (20th century). I personally liked Goya's art palette!
After a brief stop for chocolate pastries (of course), Karla, Daisey, and I headed to Museo de Escultura al Aire Libre. Unsure of what to expect, we initially headed in the wrong direction before realizing that the wide array of bronze, silver, and (suspended!) concrete sculptures were among us upon exiting the Metro Station.
