This is one of the best museums in Madrid and its impressive collection makes it one of the best museums of modern art in the world! I am an art historian and I will make modern art fascinate you and you will be able to understand it. For 2 hours we will visit the best gallery of modern art in Spain and one of the best and most complete in Europe. I will explain you the importance of each of the selected works on a very interesting and different tour. Modern art will make you feel different emotions and you will be surprised with everything behind each painting. You'll understand why modern art is as it is and I'll explain the historical context, the technique, the style and a brief description of each artist so the experience is a 100% complete. I'll also inform you about the curious history of the building, an old hospital! We'llsee masterpieces of the great Spanish and international modern artists and some of my favorite pieces as well. And then you'll tell me yours! * Note: tickets are not included
Jaime was very passionate about the art and made sure to show us a very well-curated selection of works to both highlight and build towards the Spanish Civil war historically with the Guernica. The fact that he grew up and went to school across the street was a fun fact. He dropped us off at a nearby tavern and spent time with us there as well so we could relax and process the morning while recharging with coffee and some tapas.
We absolutely recommend Jaime if you want your tour of Madrid’s art museums to be educational, interesting, and enjoyable. We toured the Prado and the Reina Sofia with Jaime. I never really understood modern art, but after Jaime’s tour, I now have a greater appreciation. Jaime’s style of giving information is unique; it is more than a narrative, it is more like a performance. Book a tour with Jaime, you will not be disappointed.
We thought very highly of this tour. Finding the right guide can make or break an experience. Fortunately for us, Jaime was up to the challenge. An art historian, his approach was insightful and thorough, and his enthusiasm for the art was evident. Highly recommended.
I wish 10 stars was an option. Jaime was the best tour guide. Prior to our tour Jaime was excellent at communicating and preparing us for our tour with attention to detail. He was pleasant, friendly and punctual. Jaimie explained things clearly and always made sure we were ok and if we needed anything. Jaime has a passion, knowledge and depth and breadth of art history that is unsurpassed. It was interesting and he wove the history and the art together with a story that had all of us completely engaged. We were not rushed and the time flew by so quickly. It was truly the best tour I have ever taken. We all learned a lot, developed a greater appreciation for the works of art and different artists and we were entertained by the manner in how he delivered the details and history. I highly highly recommend his tour. We are so grateful for the experience.
Really enjoyed our afternoon with Jamie. He is incredibly knowledgeable and we learned so much about some notable pieces of artwork. We were a family of four with a 12 and 15 year old and both our kids were so engaged by Jamie and his information. The two museums had thousands and thousands of pieces which can be so overwhelming. What I appreciated most was that instead of just setting eyes on thousands of pieces of artwork, Jamie walked is through historically in an educational and interesting way andwe saw the most notable and significant pieces and artists and were able to deep dive into their history. 5 stars!
Wonderful tour! Jaime was extremely knowledgeable and made the information lively and accessible. Highly recommend!
-After meeting and introducing myself, I'll give you a brief introduction of the collection and the building. -Then we'll enter the museum and I will also explain to you why modern art is like that, what happened in the world and in society for that change to occur? The Reina Sofia Museum is huge, so I'll guide you through the rooms! -The collection begins with Goya and the painters of Spanish Impressionism such as Sorolla. -Then we'll admire some of the masterpieces of Miro and other world famous artists such as Calder or Marx Ernst. -We'll stop in front of some of the original and beautiful sculptures of the famous Chillida and without rushing I will explain to you the magical and strange paintings of incredible Dali. -And of course we will be with the great Picasso, the great Spanish master of modern art; We will see many of his paintings. -We'll stop calmly in the famous "The Guernica" by Picasso, an impressive and enormous canvas in relation to the terrors of war.
