Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza is a must see in Madrid. It is one of the most relevant museums in the city, in the country and in the world. Its impressive art collection mesmerizes all types of public, and that is due to its catalogue of about 1,000 works on display that range from ancient painting of the 13th century to the avant-gardes of the 20th century. The collection includes great artists such as Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Manet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Kandinsky, Hopper or Picasso. Besides this, the museum schedules important temporary exhibitions that play a major role within the cultural agenda of the city. It also offers many activities for all audiences, and most especially for young people: concerts, cinema, workshops and conferences, among others. Lastly, the Museum Shop, with an independent access, is an elegant space with exclusive items inspired by some works of art, created by well-known artists and designers as well as by local artisans.

This is a wonderful and uncrowded museum. Great works of art from many of the great artists and since it's not crowded it's easy to move around the artwork.

We apologize for the inconvenience; we are looking into ways to improve the usability of the online shopping page.
an extraordinary museum, which complements well the Prado which is close to Queen Sofia. It's huge, the paintings are prodigious, Dali, Picasso, Gauguin, etc...
Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed!
Of the three "major museums", that is Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen-Bornemisza, I found this one to be my favorite. The permanent collection is excellent. Less crowded than the first two and better organized. Diverse and in-depth. I would recommend buying a pass to enter the three museums: it saves a little bit of money and some time to enter
Thank you for your recomendation! The Art Walk ticket, it admits one person to the Museo Nacional del Prado, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza. It is valid for one visit to each museum within 1 year from the date of purchase. This ticket only provides access to the permanent collections of this museum. The Art Walk ticket offers a 20% discount on the combined price of individual tickets to the three museums.
Unfortunately we never found our tour guide and couldn’t communicate with anyone to tell us where to go. Waiting for 30’ and then gave up.
We're deeply sorry for your experience. In order to improve, we'd love to hear more details about what happened. You can contact cavthyssen@museothyssen.org.
Wonderful museum filled with amazing works of art from modern to the 13th century! A must see on your trip ...make sure you get a skip the line.
Thank you for such a complete review! We are glad you enjoyed.
If you are really interested in permanent exhibition, it takes 3 hours. From the time I went, in 2 has only had a superficial tour.u
Muchísimas gracias por tu comentario. Nos alegra que te haya gustado tanto. El tiempo estimado para la visita a la colección es de 3h y a la exposición temporal 1 hora.
For us the most beautiful museum in Madrid. Much more interesting than the Prado! It takes at least 1/2 day to make the tour.
We're glad you enjoyed. Thank you! The estimated duration of the visit for the Permanent Collection is 3 hours, and 1hour for the Temporary Exhibition.
Entry to the museum was quick. All staff were helpful and friendly, and in good spirits. And of course, the permanent collection on the ground floor (our reason for being there) was superb.
Visit the best art museum in all Madrid. The collection is amazing and one of the best examples of artists from multiple time periods. This museum was a better experience than the Prado Museum. If you only have time to visit one, this needs to be your choice. It was less crowded and you are able to take pictures. Having those memories makes the visit one you will talk about for a long time.
