If you can't make it to Madrid to see the original, pay a visit to this copy of Picasso's heart-rending response to Franco's murderous bombing raid. The work in ceramic is a full-size representation of the original and is accessible at all hours on a little lane a few blocks west of the Museo de la Paz de Gernika.
