Lonely Planet review for Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza

One of the most extraordinary private collections of predominantly European art in the world, the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza is a worthy member of Madrid’s ‘Golden Triangle’ of art. Where the Museo del Prado or Centro de Arte Reina Sofía enable you to study the body of work of a particular artist in depth, the Thyssen is a place to immerse yourself in a breathtaking breadth of artistic styles. Most of the big names are here, sometimes with just a single painting, but the Thyssens’ gift to Madrid and the art-loving public is to have them all under one roof. Not surprisingly, it often ends up being many visitors’ favourite Madrid art gallery.

    One of my favorite collections of art

    matpalm recommends this,

    An interesting ex-personal collection that, though quite small compared to a grander national musuem, feels really intimate and actually acts as a pretty good lesson in the history of European painting. I'd go back to Madrid just for this place. Highly recommended.
