Museums in Madrid

Visited the Museo Reina Sofia, which is famous for having Guernica. The painting is a lot more frightening in real-life than I expected. I did however, get a sense of how massive it was in the movie ‘Children of Men,’ as there is a scene where it is hanging on the wall. Also, I saw these strange ballet costumes designed by Oscar Schlemmer in 1927. (See photos below). I was strangely intrigued by them because they looked so surreal. These costumes were designed for the Triadic Ballet, (or das Triadisch Ballet in German) and are supposed to look Bauhaus somehow.
