Discover the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum, where 700 years of European art unfold in one central Madrid building. Move room by room from Old Masters and Dutch painting through to modern art and Pop Art.
Full description
The Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum brings together a wide run of European painting from the 13th to the 20th century, moving from Old Masters and Dutch works through to Renaissance, modern art and Pop Art. Reviewers describe the collection as one of the best in the city, with rooms arranged by genre and period and plenty of famous names throughout.
Most visitors need around two hours, longer for those who read the details closely. Opening hours are extensive, including a late Saturday close, and booking ahead is recommended, which helps in busy periods.
It pairs naturally with a day of Madrid's other major museums.
