Use your one-day ticket to explore Madrid’s Reina Sofía at your own pace, with permanent-collection access and a multilingual in-app audio guide. See Picasso’s Guernica, Dalí’s Rostro del gran masturbador, and works by Miró inside a former 18th-century hospital. Bring headphones and download the audio content before you arrive.
“Ho acquistato la visita al museo compresa di audio-guida. Il biglietto è stato acquistato qualche ora prima dell’ingresso e questo non ha consentito di ricevere in tempo il link per scaricare l’audio-guida, dovendo quindi spendere ulteriore denaro per comprare quella ufficiale del museo. Devo dire però, che dopo un primo momento di sconforto per l’accaduto, ho avuto il piacere di constatare che il servizio clienti è subito a disposizione e si rende immediatamente disponibile a risolvere il problema. Dopo circa 5 giorni ho ricevuto il rimborso per l’audio-guida che non ho avuto possibilità di utilizzare. Tutto è bene quel che finisce bene!”
Enter Museo Casa Natal de Picasso, the Málaga building where Pablo Picasso was born in 1881, and see family belongings, baby clothes, portraits, sketchbooks, and works linked to his father.
