Salvador Dali

Our group of students found the visit to Reina Sofia Museum quite likeable. We were first impressed by the dimension of the museum- which is a great architectural piece- as well as the modernity of the construction. We weren’t actually having high spectations about the museum (because of the fact that we are teenagers and it’s not a very attractive option) but the way it’s focussed on visitors made us change our point of view.

As we got in the museum, we could see quite a lot of turists but not a long queue. How could this be possible? Just then, we saw a desk with 8 workers ready to get the tickets. This fact, joined with the good organization of the museum, was quite impresive. The beggining of the visit was giving us quite high spectations, but we hadn’t seen yet the main reason we came here, Dali’s collection.

And my first question as I got in the room was: How could I be so stupid to think this was going to be boring? I entered and I was astonished. Not just by the room, which can be similar to any other museum one, but by the exhbition. What a fantastic artist Dali was. Even his smallest paintings had something special. We also apreciated that in every single room there was a film talking about him and his life. His wide range of stules made us think that this excellent exhibition was never going to finish. And that’s maybe the worst thing. It can get a bit long and there aren't any benches to sit and admire the pieces.

But the best moment was when we got to his most famous painting, The Persitance of Memory. There was a security woman only for that small painting. We didn’t have much time to observe it, but the little time we had, was absolutely well worth it. What a nice painting he created.

As a result of all this, we can say that Dali’s exhibition with its 5 rooms, is one of the best entertaiment events we have in Madrid now-a-days. We were really delighted with the visit and we recommend everyone to see it as well.
