Spain Most Important Museums
A country for all
Spain is definitely one of the most beautiful countries in the world and one of the few that can fit any type of tastes. It is almost impossible not to find something to attract you in Spain: whether you like the mountain or the sea, the modern cities where you can have a lot of fun or the tranquil traditional villages where tourists can relax away from the hustle and the bustle of civilization, you will definitely find everything in this country.
However, studies show that it is the impressive cultural, architectural and historical heritage that most attracts tourists from all over the world to Spain. The cultural heritage is celebrated in the impressive number of museums that this country hosts and if you want a special holiday, you can try a tour of some of the most representative ones.
Starting the tour of the important museums
For those who feel attracted by the idea, the tour should start in the beautiful Bilbao, the city that hosts the Guggenheim Museum. The Guggenheim Museum not only attracts visitors with what it holds inside, it also attracts them with the building itself which is the work of the great architect Frank Gehry.
The 11,000 sqm exhibition is absolutely impressive: some of the galleries are permanent while others are displayed only for a few months. For example, the “Aztec Empire’’ is on display for just a few months but it is extremely interesting; so are the galleries celebrating Michelangelo or Reuben.
Next on the list comes the Dali Theatre Museum which patiently waits for you in Figueres. This Museum is entirely dedicated to the great Dali and it also includes his surrealist period.
The reason why Figueres was chosen to be the city to host the museum honoring Dali is the fact that it also represents his birthplace, so make sure you visit it. Another important museum that deserves your attention is the Reina Sofia in Madrid.
The building, besides being one of the most impressive palaces in Spain also works as a museum that displays collections of contemporary art. Last but not the least; go to Barcelona to visit the Joan Miro Foundation.
The building is a little bit different from the other buildings that host museums; it has a unique Mediterranean air. You have the chance to see some of Miro’s most famous works here, including his sculptures.
