Some temporary exhibitions running at early March

Until March 4, 2024. "Picasso 1906: The Turning Point". The Reina Sofía Museum is presenting an exhibition from 15 November to 4 March 2024 that seeks to investigate the artist's contribution to the birth of Modern Art from today's perspective, through more than 120 works. The exhibition is part of the Picasso Celebration 1973-2023 initiative to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Spanish artist's death. The exhibition, which brings together more than 120 works from private collections and leading national and international institutions, aims to renew important criteria on the key role played by the artist in the creation of "Modern Art". 1906 was a year of great transformation for Picasso. To date, Picasso's production in 1906 has been understood as an epilogue to the Rose Period or as a prologue to The Young Ladies of Avignon. But it can now be said that 1906 was a "period" in its own right in Picasso's creative future.

Until March 31, 2024. "Sorolla. Travelling to paint: another vision of Spain". Visitors to the exhibition will be able to gain in-depth knowledge of Sorolla's extensive career and his personality, as the essence of his work is linked to the concept of travel. The artist's motivation for all his travels lay in painting in the open air or "au plein air", which gradually became a necessity, giving rise to a travelling painter who took his brushes to a total of fifty-four Spanish towns and seventeen foreign cities, highlighting his two tours of the United States. In this way, Joaquín Sorolla forged an independent and cosmopolitan lifestyle through which he spread the progress that he always championed. The exhibition pays tribute to Sorolla as the great chronicler and artistic ambassador of Spain between the centuries and it is divided into five sections: Sorolla, Open Air Painter; Mediterranean, an open-air study; The challenge of the Bay of Biscay; Natural landscape / Monumental landscape; The Garden, Interior Landscape.

Until May 5, 2024. "Chagall. A Cry for Freedom".
The Mapfre Foundation will host an exhibition revolving around the work of Marc Chagall (1887-1985). The Belarusian painter of Jewish origin is an unclassifiable artist of the early 20th century whose work ranges from Surrealism to Russian Expressionism and Cubism. This exhibition, the result of a collaboration between La Piscine – Musée d’Art et d’Industrie André Diligent, (Roubaix), Fundación MAPFRE and the Musée national Marc Chagall in Nice, presents the artist’s work in the light of the historical events he witnessed, thus becoming the first complete reading of his production from the perspective of his stances and his humanist socio-political commitment. Marc Chagall, whose life spanned two world wars and an exile, left a body of work deeply rooted in the history of the 20th century. Embodiment of rootlessness and migration, like so many figures in his work, the artist moved around the world at the mercy of the upheavals of his century, from his childhood in White Russia to France, from Germany to Palestine and from the United States to Mexico, before settling by the Mediterranean.

Until June 2024. "On the move. National Heritage vehicles and carriages". The Royal Collections Gallery is opening its temporary exhibition space by exhibiting National Heritage’s collection of vehicles and carriages, one of the finest in the world, which includes works from the 16th to the 20th century. The exhibition is made up of around fifty pieces, including several carriages, vehicles, sleighs and even a travelling couchette, through which the history of the carriage in Spain and its role as a representation of power can be traced. Its use by the Spanish monarchy and court began in the 16th century, when it became the fashionable means of transport for transfers between Madrid and the other Royal Sites, as part of the monarchy's stage set for power. Today, carriages are still used during official ceremonies, such as when ambassadors present their credentials to the king.
The vehicles on display include pieces that are unique for their beauty and advanced technology for their time, such as the Golden Berlin, from the mid-18th century; the Bronze Landó from 1829; and the Shell Carriage and the Figures Carriage, which belonged to Charles IV. Alongside these, there are other unique items, such as Queen Isabella II’s children's carriage and two richly decorated wooden sledges, one of them in the shape of a dragon, possibly a gift from Tsar Alexander III to Alfonso XII. The exhibition is rounded off with two Mercedes-Benz cars, a 1939 all-terrain vehicle which was a gift from Hitler to General Franco in 1940, and the classic 'Grosser Mercedes' model from 1942, both of which are on display in the Historical Hall of the Royal Guard. Touch screens enable visitors to explore the interior of the vehicles and carriages. The visit is included in the Gallery’s general entrance ticket.

Until July 14, 2024. The María Cristina Masaveu Foundation presents "The collection of the Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia. Between Bosch and Sorolla", an exhibition that will bring together more than a hundred masterpieces belonging to the collection of the Valencian museum and which can be seen from February 28 to July 14, 2024. The exhibition spans from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the 20th century and features pieces by artists such as Hieronymus Bosch, Marteen de Vos, José de Ribera, Rubens, Ribalta, Benlliure and Sorolla, among others. Ticket reservations for the individual visit of the exhibition and for its guided tour program can be made from February 20.

"The Berlin Wall. Living in a Divided World". The Castellana 214 Hall at the Canal Foundation will be hosting the first large-scale travelling exhibition on the Berlin Wall from 9 November. The exhibition will explore the escalation of this conflict and how the people of Berlin came to take sides, fight, escape, adjust, and ultimately overcome the Cold War divisions.
This major project is made up of more than 300 original objects, including 20 metres of the actual wall, along with materials that depict its evolution over time, such as the barbed wire laid in the early stages of the division. Everyday items that citizens of Berlin ingeniously re-purposed for smuggling, provision of basic goods and communication between civilians on both sides will be on display, as well as objects related to the fall of the Wall and the end of the Cold War in the 1980s, such as the original tools used by citizens on 9 November 1989 to demolish the Wall.
This exhibition project has been developed by Musealia and the Berlin Wall Foundation. Madrid, twinned with Berlin since 4 November 1988, will be the first stop on a seven-year tour that will travel to diverse cities worldwide.
