Description

With nearly a thousand pieces spanning from the 13th to the 20th century, the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza is considered an encyclopedic collection, as it brings together an extraordinary journey through the history of painting in Europe. On our tour of the Thyssen Museum, you'll explore a curated selection of must-see works, from the Renaissance to 20th-century art. Picasso, El Greco, Dalí, Cézanne, Klee, Kandinsky, Rubens, Rembrandt, Renoir, Gauguin... Throughout eight centuries of history, you'll discover the secrets hidden in their creations, as well as the historical and artistic context in which they were conceived. Our specialized guides will accompany you through the different rooms, revealing fascinating anecdotes and details about each piece. You'll also have the chance to explore the magnificent eighteenth-century palace of the Dukes of Villahermosa, which since 1992 has been the home of this national museum after the Spanish government acquired the private collection of the Thyssen-Bornemisza family. Surrounded by charming gardens and squares, it's the perfect place to enjoy a cultural afternoon in the city.
