Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía
The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía is Spain's national museum for 20th‑century art, housed in a converted 18th‑century hospital in Madrid. The building combines the original pale stone classical façade with modern additions — most notably three external glass circulation towers and a Jean Nouvel extension for temporary exhibitions and auditoria.

What Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía looked like in its prime.
A long, pale stone, multi‑storey former hospital façade with rows of regularly spaced rectangular windows and shallow arch surrounds; wide stone steps rise to a central entrance flanked by exhibition banners. Modern additions are three tall, transparent glass circulation towers with exposed metal stair/elevator structures projecting in front of the classical wall. The ensemble sits above a broad paved plaza with low retaining walls, lampposts and a few trees, under a clear sky.
