"Ban Lifted: Photograph Picasso's 'Guernica' at Reina Sofía Museum"

The Reina Sofía museum in Madrid has lifted its ban on photographing Picasso's iconic antiwar masterpiece, "Guernica," in an effort to enhance the viewing experience for visitors. However, the use of flash, tripods, and selfie sticks is still prohibited to prevent potential damage to the 25-foot oil painting. The museum's decision to allow photography aims to bring the painting closer to the public and align with advancements in technology. While some visitors appreciate the change, concerns remain about distracted visitors and the potential cheapening of museum experiences for the sake of social media.
