This has to be one of the best private collections of art in the world. Collection starts with ancient Italian art and ends with Pop art. Start on the top floor and work your way down

One of the best museums in the world. A range of famous paintings covering a wide range of periods. A must see on a visit to Madrid. Spend some time wandering the streets. Stop and have some tapas!

After El Prado, this is the best art museum in Madrid. Great collection of masters from medieval to 20th Century. Perfect to have a comprehensive vision of the history of art.
Sam AnthonySeptember 26, 2017
Really well curated museum. It often gets overshadowed by its bigger neighbors but it's worth a visit. Free on Mondays.

Allow 2h30-3h for this museum, or skip the medieval bit - the last rooms are absolutely amazing & you'll wish you'd allowed more time for them! Not a lot of signs - download the apps for explanations.

One of the best private collections I have ever seen! Nice pieces from every era of painting, love the Caravaggio and the expressionists
Anita ŚliwińskaAugust 10, 2016
Museum is en el Palacio de Villahermosa (Paseo del Prado). Offers a variety of masterpieces from 13th to late 20th century. I liked most final rooms with avant-grade pop art collection.
Rafael MarinAugust 15, 2020
The museum is just spectacular. Visit the Rembrant special exhibition and the impressionist gallery on the first floor.
Arina ArinaAugust 15, 2012
Must see when in Madrid for sure! Amazing and very diverse collection. Now Edward Hopper exhibition is on show which is pretty remarkable! And vegetable ratatouille at their restaurant on the roof ;)
JB ADecember 22, 2015
An amazingly diverse collection - simply stunning. From Noon to 4 pm on Mondays, it is free as well! Use the website to plan your tour through the museum for best use of time.

Loved its exhibition "Vogue like a painting". Its permanent exhibition is a must to check when in Madrid

Permanent collection is a whirlwind tour of art through the centuries. 99% paintings, nothing really Spanish-specific. Free entry after noon-ish on Mondays!
Frances JamesMay 30, 2018
Art museum #3 on the must-see list. Free on Mondays! They have some neato obscure famous ones (Edward Hopper, Dali, etc.)
Chris R (thechristophe)September 26, 2015
Good museum, the modern stuff is clearly the best. You can move quite swiftly through the stuff upstairs. Free entry Monday afternoons.
Suéli GalvãoOctober 15, 2014
Really nice museum. Two floors with lots of religious art and paintings and ground floor with some of the best modern and contemporary art.
Alžběta LaňováDecember 5, 2015
Great collections and well organized and signed rooms, 1st and ground floor really cool
Katerina KlepikovaFebruary 7, 2016

Amazing and diverse collection - time whizzed by going through the great collection. The audio guide have some great insights too.
Nicoleta ArnăutuNovember 4, 2013
Totally recomending it! Even if you're not a connaiseur, you'll be impressed. Loved the Woman in bath of Roy Lichtenstein and most of the north american paintings.

If you only have time for one museum in Madrid, make that Thyssen. An immaculate collection in a salmon-pink palace.
Dmitry DzhusOctober 6, 2017
My favourite room is 32 which has Renoir, van Gogh and Monet
LaurenNovember 6, 2022
A good portion of the 1st floor is closed as of November 2022. I love this place but really missed seeing Ernst, Pollock, Rothko, etc. this time around.

A stunning art collection - a real "must see" in Madrid. And the vegetable ratatouille is excellent!

From Van Eyck to Picasso, the museum offers a full ride through the history of Western Art. On a visit and a half hour one can understand the evolution of painting by the great masters.

Incredible collection by Baron Thyssen. Get a guide and you will get the most out of your visit!
Annix L.May 14, 2018
Fantastic and wide collection. Free entry on Mondays.

The cafe can be very busy and service slow but worth the wait if you need to refuel before the next gallery visit
MiSST·Made in Spain Shopping TourJune 8, 2012

If you actually want to learn something I suggest renting the audio guides they are worth the small eurocharged
AndreaSeptember 12, 2014
If you like Impressionism as much as I do, it's even better than Prado Museum.
MargoJanuary 15, 2013
