Full description
Fundación María Cristina Masaveu Peterson shows works from the Masaveu collection of twentieth-century Spanish art, running from Picasso to Barceló, in clean, well-kept rooms in Chamberí. A separate urban art gallery adds a contemporary counterpoint.
Reviewers rate it among the best exhibitions they saw in Madrid and mention a warm, exclusive atmosphere and friendly staff, though photography is not allowed in the galleries. Entry is free and about 45 minutes is enough.
Closed on Mondays, it works well as a quiet, low-effort stop within Chamberí.

This is literally the best exhibition I’ve visited in Madrid — COLECCIÓN MASAVEU. ARTE ESPAÑOL DEL SIGLO XX. DE PICASSO A BARCELÓ It was forbidden to take pictures there, but you must believe me that you won’t regret visiting it!
