	MUSEO DE ARTE REINA SOFIA
		On the 10th September 1992, their Royal Highnesses King Juan Carlos of Spain and Queen Sofía inaugurated the Reina Sofía National Museum Art Centre with a permanent collection which came to substitute the Spanish Museum of Contemporary Art.
		Perhaps it was the transferring of Picasso´s "Guernica" to the Reina Sofía for its permanent collection, which was the decisive milestone in it now being considered one of the most important contemporary art museums in the world.
		The building which houses the collection was designed in the 18th century by the architect Francisco Sabatini to be built as a hospital, and which was later modified and extended on numerous occasions.

		When, in 1868, Isabel II passed away and with her, the Bourbon monarchy, the museum was nationalized and thenceforth called the Museo Nacional del Prado.
		Two years earlier, in 1986, the inauguration of some areas of the Reina Sofia Center of Art was celebrated, dedicating the celebration at that time only to the temporary exhibitions, under the direction of Carmen Gimenez, the director of the National Center of Exhibitions of the Minister of Culture.
		During the years that it was housed in the El Casino de la Reina, the number of pieces grew notably thanks to the purchase of objects by the Scientific Commissions that traveled through diverse Spanish provinces and foreign countries, and the acquisition of a series of private collections, some of substantial importance.
