I would recommend the following museums: Madrid Reina Sofia Museo de Arte Contemporaneo (Jose Girao, Director) El Museo del Prado Museo de Bellas Artes Barcelona La Caixa (outstanding international private collection) Museo de Picasso Antonio Tapies Sevilla Museo de Bellas Artes Also, you should consider making trips to Bilbao (worth a day or two once in Barcelona) for the Guggenheim and Museo de Bellas Artes and to Valencia (an easy weekend jaunt from Madrid) for the Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno. There is also a new Picasso Museum being constructed in his hometown of Malaga. Carmen Gimenez, former director of the Ministerio de Cultura and curator for the Guggenheim Museums, is directing this project. She would be a great resource for your research. I hope this helps.
