Isabel Muñoz, one of the greatest photographers of our time, visits MNA again after "Women of the Congo" (2017). Now he presents his latest major project that gives us insight into the profound anthropological values ​​of the formation of Neolithic societies through his impressive photographs of four archaeological sites in Anatolia: Göbekli Tepe, Karahan Tepe, Nevalichori and Seburç. In recent years, the excavations of these "sanctuaries" have not ceased to surprise us, the discoveries of which are changing our knowledge of societies in transition between nomadism and sedentarism: their chronology, their organization and way of life, their megalithic architecture, their artistic expressions and their concept of the "sacred". 
This exhibition kicks off a special program for the 150th anniversary of the National Museum of Anthropology (1875-2025), thus evoking the very first stages of its life, in which it was also a prehistoric museum. In fact, the project now links the MNA with three major museums dedicated to the dawn of man: the Pera Museum in Istanbul and the Museum of Civilization in Ankara, where it began, and the National Museum of Altamira, where it will stop next spring. The Altamira Museum was then the destination of most of the MNA's prehistoric collection, since part of the objects, mainly stone tools collected throughout the 19th century in different archaeological "sites", came from Cantabria. 
In this way, the exhibition, while opening a phase of renovation of the museum, also closes a kind of "magic circle". The powerful images created by Isabel Muñoz are meant to look back to the distant past, but they challenge us from the most palpitating contemporaneity and connect us to questions that are still very valid. Humanity has travelled a path since then, are we really fundamentally different from the people who created and used those sacred spaces 9,000 years ago? Have we not forgotten the fundamental things that these people knew and felt about our relationship with the universe? Is it possible to rediscover those fundamental identities that have been lost by establishing a connection with the invisible dimension of these creations mediated by Isabel Muñoz? There is only one way to examine it...

The salvation of the hot summer weather is to come to the exhibition. Anyway, people who understand art and those who don&rsquo;t should be able to find their own aesthetics here.

Book now for tomorrow

Bought a ticket for a designated time, and go at most half an hour in advance, don&#39;t go too early.

It&#39;s still worth seeing, the Bernabeu dream comes true, not only football, Real Madrid basketball and other events also have exhibitions to see, but those well-known golden age players in childhood have no display area, only stay in the photos

I walked quite fast in the whole process, it took nearly two hours

If you don&#39;t want to take a virtual photo, just walk from the right, tell him that it&#39;s not necessary. Otherwise, you have to queue up for a photo and then charge for it to be washed

At the last exit, you can buy beer and snacks to sit in the audience to simulate the experience, making up for the regrets of the off-season

On May 30, 2025, we spent a thrilling and exciting night at the Las Ventas bullring in Madrid. Watching Marco Pe`rez a talented teenager born in 2007 1V6 bullfighting, this bullfighting known as the &quot;old bull&quot; is called a bullfighting that happens in 20 years, I have the opportunity to watch it on the spot (after learning the news this morning, through friends in Madrid, find a way to get the ticket, There is also a doctor who reads Spanish bullfighting art in Madrid, a Beijing brother&#39;s live guide and reconciliation) and admired a wonderful, ups and downs, twenty-year-old bullfighting, the whole venue is full, and also appreciates the Spaniard&#39;s fever, so lucky, Very happy and excited to have such an experience 🤩😎

Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía

It is well worth going. The museum has a rich collection, including many world-class art treasures, such as paintings by Picasso and Dali. A few hours inside is not enough, especially for the elderly, free tickets, very friendly. It would be a pity to miss this museum.
