Full description
Casa de la Arquitectura is a small free museum in Chamberí dedicated to architecture, with exhibits on how Spanish building traditions have evolved, including themes of sustainability. The main exhibition occupies the first floor, where large windows bring in plenty of daylight, and several smaller displays run alongside it.
Visitors praise both the architecture of the halls and the way works are presented, and the staff are described as friendly. It suits anyone with a genuine interest in architecture and works as a short, quiet stop of about half an hour; casual visitors may find it less engaging.

Nice. With several expositions. Free entry and friendly staff. You will enjoy it more if you are an architect or truly enjoy architecture, otherwise not really worth it.
