Thousand and One Nights than War and Peace”. With this graphic example the head
of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia referred to the reorganization
of the museum’s collection which will open to the public today.

works made by Goya, Solana and Picasso and also African art, which so inspired
the artist from Malaga.
