2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Pablo Picasso and the great museums of Madrid have programmed unique exhibitions. The Prado Museum presents "Picasso-El Greco" (from June to September) where his works are interspersed and La casa de Velázquez program "Picasso vs Velázquez" (September to November) that recreates the summer of 1957, in which Picasso painted 58 paintings inspired by Las Meninas.

At the Reina Sofía Museum of Contemporary Art, whose most emblematic work is the artist's Guernica, the exhibition "Picasso 1906: The Great Transformation" (from November 2023 to March 2024) investigates his contribution to the birth of modern art. The Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum presents "Picasso. The sacred and the profane", which addresses his vision of history, religion and myths.

Also the Fernán Gómez Centro Cultural de la Villa exhibits the daily photographs of Picasso taken by his friend Lucien Clergue (from April to June) and the Casa Encendida makes a new reading of the final 10 years of the painter in "The Last Picasso" (from May to September).

For its part , Space 5.1 of the IFEMA fairground has until April the immersive exhibition "Imagine Picasso", which allows you to enter more than 200 of his paintings. The anniversary is also a good time to get closer to the picturesque walled village of Buitrago de Lozoya and get to know the Picasso Museum, with the more than 60 works that the painter gave to his barber, born in Buitrago.
