This summer Madrid will become a centre of Pop Art, with the exhibition Pop Art Myths organised by the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, and an exhibition at the Museo Reina Sofía focusing on one of the great protagonists of Pop Art, Richard Hamilton.

Both exhibitions, made up of more than 300 works of art, look at the traditional myths of the Pop movement in a different light, highlighting the turbulence of a society that sought to forget the trauma of war. It also takes a critical view of the boom of mass culture and the new consumer society.
