Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum

The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum completes Madrid’s “Golden Triangle of Art” with a sweeping survey of Western painting from the 13th to 20th centuries. Its collection bridges gaps between the Prado and Reina Sofía, featuring Old Masters, Impressionists, German Expressionists, and early American art. Highlights include works by Caravaggio, Van Gogh, Degas, Kandinsky, and Hopper. The galleries are manageable and well laid out, making it ideal for a focused visit of two to three hours. Centrally located on the Paseo del Prado, it appeals to both casual visitors and art enthusiasts seeking breadth, context, and lesser-seen masterpieces.
