Longer days, warmer weather, and a vibrant city invite us to embrace spring in Madrid. And what better way to do so than by immersing ourselves in the exhibitions that adorn its streets?

A Life in a Few Lines by Huguette Caland

February 19 to August 25—Reina Sofía Museum

With strokes that defied the aesthetic and social conventions of her time, Huguette Caland broke boundaries with her abstract and figurative work. Each line is an act of rebellion, an invitation to look closely and lose oneself in a world free of constraints.

Proust and the Arts by Marcel Proust

March 4 to June 8—Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum

Marcel Proust’s words did more than narrate—they painted, resonated, and came to life on stage. This exhibition unveils the dialogue between his literature and the visual arts, music, and theatre, where beauty and memory shaped his universe

1924. Other Surrealisms  by Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, and Other Artists

February 6 to May 11—Fundación MAPFRE

Not all surrealism followed Breton’s rules—some artists forged their own paths, exploring the irrational from new perspectives. This exhibition is a journey to those blurred boundaries, where the avant-garde reinvents itself and imagination overflows beyond any manifesto.

In the Heart of the City  by Javier de Juan

April 3 to October 19—Museum of Decorative Arts

Javier de Juan’s art blends into the city, transforming walls, objects, and spaces. His creations blur the lines between design and life, between the public and the personal. A journey where each piece reflects a city in constant evolution.

Gego: Line, Form and Space  by Gertrud Goldschmidt

April 3 to May 24—Elvira González Gallery

In Gego’s work, the line transcends the canvas, becoming a structure that floats in space with its own rhythm. A key figure in Latin American art, she transforms emptiness into form and light into substance, dissolving the boundaries between order and chaos.

This spring, art brings Madrid to life. And after each exhibition, Urso Hotel & Spa awaits you with the tranquillity of an oasis in the heart of the city.
