| Last reviewed: Jun 2026 The national museum of 20th-century art, built around Picasso's Guernica plus deep holdings of Miró, Dalí and Spanish modernism, in the converted Sabatini hospital with Nouvel's glass-and-steel extension. It is the contemporary counterweight to the Prado on the same art walk. A serious institution for anyone who reads modern art.
