Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas

This museum dedicated to decorative arts is chock full of period furniture, ceramics, carpets and tapestries. The 18th-century kitchen with its intricate ceramic designs is particularly worth taking a look at. It was relocated from its original setting in Valencia. One panel depicts elegant men in tights carrying trays loaded with delicious-looking treats, while in another panel, rabbits and fish hang from hooks above the stove ready for the cooking pot.
