David AMarch 1, 2015This has to be one of the best private collections of art in the world. Collection starts with ancient Italian art and ends with Pop art. Start on the top floor and work your way down
TripStoryApril 24, 2012One of the best museums in the world. A range of famous paintings covering a wide range of periods. A must see on a visit to Madrid. Spend some time wandering the streets. Stop and have some tapas!Upvoted 3 days ago- Marsh MallowApril 3, 2015After El Prado, this is the best art museum in Madrid. Great collection of masters from medieval to 20th Century. Perfect to have a comprehensive vision of the history of art.Upvoted Dec 28, 2024
Sam AnthonySeptember 26, 2017Really well curated museum. It often gets overshadowed by its bigger neighbors but it's worth a visit. Free on Mondays.
JaneMay 25, 2024There’s a free cloakroom. The permanent collections have ~50 rooms. It took me 2.5 hrs to see everything. Get an audio guide for €5.
Anita ŚliwińskaAugust 10, 2016Museum is en el Palacio de Villahermosa (Paseo del Prado). Offers a variety of masterpieces from 13th to late 20th century. I liked most final rooms with avant-grade pop art collection.
JB ADecember 22, 2015An amazingly diverse collection - simply stunning. From Noon to 4 pm on Mondays, it is free as well! Use the website to plan your tour through the museum for best use of time.
Rafael MarinAugust 15, 2020The museum is just spectacular. Visit the Rembrant special exhibition and the impressionist gallery on the first floor.
Arina ArinaAugust 15, 2012Must see when in Madrid for sure! Amazing and very diverse collection. Now Edward Hopper exhibition is on show which is pretty remarkable! And vegetable ratatouille at their restaurant on the roof ;)
Tanya VAugust 3, 2015Loved its exhibition "Vogue like a painting". Its permanent exhibition is a must to check when in Madrid
Justine GAugust 13, 2017Allow 2h30-3h for this museum, or skip the medieval bit - the last rooms are absolutely amazing & you'll wish you'd allowed more time for them! Not a lot of signs - download the apps for explanations.

- Giacomo MasonNovember 7, 2016One of the best private collections I have ever seen! Nice pieces from every era of painting, love the Caravaggio and the expressionists
Suéli GalvãoOctober 15, 2014Really nice museum. Two floors with lots of religious art and paintings and ground floor with some of the best modern and contemporary art.
Chris R (thechristophe)September 26, 2015Good museum, the modern stuff is clearly the best. You can move quite swiftly through the stuff upstairs. Free entry Monday afternoons.
Las Rozas Village Outlet ShoppingJuly 16, 2012From Van Eyck to Picasso, the museum offers a full ride through the history of Western Art. On a visit and a half hour one can understand the evolution of painting by the great masters.
Bruna SuzukiAugust 6, 2015Great to see Dali, Renoir, Kandinsky, Van Gough, and many others. On mondays at a determined period of time is free to meet the museum collection.

Alžběta LaňováDecember 5, 2015Great collections and well organized and signed rooms, 1st and ground floor really cool
LaurenSeptember 25, 2018Private collection spanning 7 centuries. Unreal. I could not have dreamed this place to life.
- LaurenNovember 6, 2022A good portion of the 1st floor is closed as of November 2022. I love this place but really missed seeing Ernst, Pollock, Rothko, etc. this time around.
David HuOctober 26, 2015Permanent collection is a whirlwind tour of art through the centuries. 99% paintings, nothing really Spanish-specific. Free entry after noon-ish on Mondays!
DavidAugust 29, 2014The temporary exposition about Pop Art is great. Very comprehensive audio guide.
Nicoleta ArnăutuNovember 4, 2013Totally recomending it! Even if you're not a connaiseur, you'll be impressed. Loved the Woman in bath of Roy Lichtenstein and most of the north american paintings.
Ross HowieSeptember 18, 2014A stunning art collection - a real "must see" in Madrid. And the vegetable ratatouille is excellent!
Leo GonzalesDecember 22, 2014Free entry on Mondays. Also, free WiFi. Amazing collection of art as well.
Sarah YoonSeptember 28, 2012If you only have time for one museum in Madrid, make that Thyssen. An immaculate collection in a salmon-pink palace.
Magnus JernApril 7, 2018Incredible collection by Baron Thyssen. Get a guide and you will get the most out of your visit!
MargoJanuary 15, 2013It was the Cartier expoxition so we took the comibined ticket, it really worth it. So many pieces of art
AndreaSeptember 12, 2014If you like Impressionism as much as I do, it's even better than Prado Museum.
Dave ConroyMay 2, 2014The cafe can be very busy and service slow but worth the wait if you need to refuel before the next gallery visit
Pavel RulevMarch 18, 2013Museum is free on Mondays from 12 till 16. Save 10€. But come in advance, people know about it and the queue can be long.
Zac NOctober 27, 2015If you actually want to learn something I suggest renting the audio guides they are worth the small eurocharged
Bea Matti December 23, 2015Pleasantly surprised by the amount of masterpieces here, free wifi, nice shop.
