The city of Madrid is a mix of conservative and modern art in its architecture and buildings,from  its Neoclassical monumental Gran Via,Calle de Alcalá and the Madrid of Austria,modern in its buildings of Paseo de la Castellana,Azca and Nuevos Ministerios and many other districts but at the same time also innovative and "a l´Avant Garde" especially on its performances to surprise with event like this Gaultier Exhibition.
