Full description

With nearly a thousand exhibits spanning the period from the 13th to the 20th centuries, the National Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum is considered an encyclopedic collection as it represents an extraordinary journey through the history of painting in Europe. On our tour of the Thyssen Museum, you'll discover a carefully curated selection of irreplaceable works, from the Renaissance to 20th-century art.
Picasso, El Greco, Dali, Cezanne, Klee, Kandinsky, Rubens, Rembrandt, Renoir, Gauguin... Across eight centuries of history, you will discover the secrets hidden in their creations, as well as the historical and artistic context in which they were created. Our specialized guides will guide you through the various rooms, revealing fascinating facts and details about each exhibit.

You will also be able to see the magnificent 18th-century palace of the Dukes of Villahermosa, which has been the seat of this national museum since 1992, following the acquisition of the private collection of the Thyssen-Bornemisza family by the Spanish government. Surrounded by charming gardens and squares, this is the ideal place to enjoy a cultural evening in the city.

Loretta was an excellent guide at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. She was able to offer a new and fascinating look even at already known paintings, adding details, interesting facts and connections to modern times. The tour was interesting from start to finish and allowed me to appreciate the works from a different perspective. Highly recommend!
