The Metamorphoses of Guernica traces the history of Pablo Picasso’s monumental painting, from its commission for the 1937 International Exhibition in Paris to its status as an icon and symbol of peace.
The experience invites viewers to journey through a series of significant moments and places: the Spanish Republican Pavilion, where the work was first revealed to the public; the ruins of the Basque town of Gernika after the bombing that inspired the painting; the Parisian studio of the Grands-Augustins, where the work was created; and finally the various locations the canvas travelled to before its permanent installation at the Reina Swofía Museum in Madrid.
