Lost Boys & Co.

Lost Boys & Co... I n Madrid there’s a museum that you probably haven’t heard about.  It’s the Reina Sophia Museum and it happens to be the home of Guernica (#1) and dozens of Picasso’s, Dali’s and other modern artist’s works.  We spent about an hour checking out the posters from the late 19th and early 20th century.  The type styles alone were worth it!
