The Collection of Museo Reina Sofía starts with the end of the 19th Century, addressing the conflicts between a dominant Modernity, understood as progress, and its multiple discontents, as an ideology under constant challenge both in the social and the political fronts, and the cultural and artistic ones.
Collection 1 The Irruption of the 20th Century: Utopias and Conflicts (1900-1945)
On the fourth floor, the Collection covers the artistic transformations occurring in the post-war period, during the development of the tension-ridden international geopolitical scenario involving two different worlds and two antagonistic systems, the United States and the Soviet Union.
Collection 2 Is the War Over? Art in a Divided World (1945-1968)
The period from the 1960s to the 1980s, the years that the new rooms in the Collection explore, is when the political, social, cultural and technological changes that would give shape to the contemporary global situation took place: decolonization, the uprisings of '68, feminist movements, the economic crisis, the expansion of popular culture and the emergence of other peripheral modernisms.
Collection 3 From Revolt to Postmodernity (1962-1982)

The Museo Reina Sofía Collection comprises more than 23,000 works. Our aim is to be able to present the entire Collection on the website. To date, the website offers a selection of over 11,000 works, and the number is growing progressively. In some cases images of the works cannot be shown because of copyright issues.
