The world-class museums of Madrid were the bookends of our 4 week trip to Spain and Portugal. But we encountered works of art throughout our travels, in museums large and small, some themed, and some just reflecting the tastes of the curator. And in most cities there was public art on walls and in parks. Almost all of the museums allowed photography, so I was able to memorialize many of the moments where I was captured by what I was seeing. Here are a few of my favorites. They’re presented in the order we saw them, but you can search for specific artists and other keywords.
