Picasso's Guernica, which depicts the Nazi bombing of a small Spanish town during the Spanish Civil War, is the museum's prized possession: the painting depicts the mortally wounded bodies of a horse, a bull, and six people with amputated limbs, faces contorted in pain. Picasso used the language of Cubism to depict the horrors of war and create a deeply meaningful work.
畢卡索描繪德國法西斯戰機轟炸西班牙小城的鉅作《格爾尼卡》就是她的鎮館之寶：畫布上受傷將死，扭曲著痛苦表情的馬、牛，以及 6 個慘遭支解的人，畢卡索以立體主義的語彙表達戰爭的罪惡，寓意深厚。
