Visitors who come to the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid can now photograph the “Guernica”a decision of the new director of the center, Manuel Segade, which applies since September 1, with the only condition of not using stabilization elements or flash. With this measure, Segade “wants to improve the experience of seeing Picasso’s most famous painting,” according to Museum sources.
In reality, the ban affected the entire room in which the painting is located and was in force to protect a very fragile work, which was hung on the walls of the Reina Sofía in 1992 from the Casón del Buen Retiro where it had been exhibited since that the painting arrived in Spain in 1981 after 42 years at the MoMA in New York.
It was the only area of the museum in which photography could not be taken, but now the prohibition has been lifted because technological means have changed and no longer endanger the work, the sources have specified.
It is a way to provide more facilities to the visitor so that they can do like Mick Jagger, who in June 2022 visited the museum and took a portrait in front of the painting, an image that was highly criticized on social networks given the exceptional nature of the event.
