This exhibition explores the concept of the grotesque, a core of aesthetic thought capable of offering new perspectives on reality. Developed by the writer Ramón María del Valle-Inclán (1866-1936) as a tool of critical questioning in response to the backwardness and moral despair that plagued Spain in the first half of the 20th century, the grotesque confronts the country’s social, political and cultural constraints, insisting on the distance of the gaze and a range of aesthetic strategies to deform with maximum efficiency. 
Unlike other cultural representations of the grotesque that emerged in Europe, in which horrific distortions embodied the absurdity of life during that period, the grotesque proposed a new aesthetic that needed to be dedicated to the renewal of social structures. Through extensive documentation and various works of art, this exhibition explores the main themes and strategies that express the grotesque, emphasizing that it is an aesthetic proposal that survived Valle-Inclán’s time and thought. 
The exhibition is divided into eight main sections. It begins with the Antes del esperpento of the last decades of the 19th century, which displayed a selection of satirical news, drawings and popular optical devices of the time, which were forerunners of anamorphosis.

The Palace of Madrid is the third largest palace in Europe after Versailles and the Sch&ouml;nbrunn Palace in Vienna. It covers an area of 148 square meters and has 3,148 rooms. In the 9th century, it was a castle for Arab rulers, and was recaptured by Christians and became the residence of kings of all generations. A fire destroyed the castle in 1734, and the palace is now seen as a rebuilt palace in 1764. The Palace of Madrid is a very beautiful building, and it is also one of the world&#39;s well-preserved palaces. The whole palace is very magnificent, with countless gold and silver utensils, porcelain, tapestries and other royal supplies, brilliant lights and candles, rich and luxurious, and dazzling.

Tickets were issued very quickly, in half a day. But in fact, you don&#39;t need to buy tickets in advance. You can go to the bullring one hour in advance on the day of the opening to queue up and buy tickets. It&#39;s much cheaper than this ticket.
The whole process takes about 2-2.5 hours, and 6-7 bulls fight. Whether it&#39;s good or not depends largely on the bullfighters of the day. Some people just go to work as a routine, and some are very passionate and very good. Anyway, you can come and watch a show if you have nothing to do. You&#39;re here.
If it&#39;s not very sunny on the day, you don&#39;t need to buy the shady side. The sunny side is good and cheap.
You can rent a cushion at the venue for 1.5 euros. It is recommended to rent one, otherwise your butt will hurt.
