We were going through some of the images from Madrid tonight... some good ones to come, but we did come across the images of The Sofia which I hadn't posted. The Sofia is short for the The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS) is the official name of Spain's national museum of 20th century art(informally shortened to the Museo Reina Sofía, Queen Sofia Museum, El Reina Sofia, or simply The Sofia).

We almost did end up going to this one as we where a little fatigued of all the religious art that we had seen in the preceeding days. And we also thought it was a small building, small collection, and one we could miss. BUT we steeled ourselves and made the journey through the back streets to find it only to come across this...

The museum entrance with the Dali sculpture was impressive. The collection... very impressive. So pleased we made it there. The building is actually a reconditioned old hospital. and the sculpture in the front... well here's a clue... there is a person on the left hand side in the corner taking a pic... if you can spot her.

Now back to Marrakech. Its very hot here today. And I'll post more on what we did today tomorrow... suffice it to say that Paul and I are now even on the 'oh god, what have you taken me to see' stakes today :D
