Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum
The Thyssen-Bornemisza fills a different role from Madrid’s other major art museums: a broad path through European painting in the Villahermosa Palace.
Why go
The chronological range lets you compare styles across centuries without changing museums. That makes it a useful complement to the Prado’s Spanish strengths and Reina Sofía’s modern focus. Give the permanent galleries enough time to follow the progression rather than rushing to individual famous names.
What to look for
Works from several centuries.
The Villahermosa Palace galleries.
Useful to know
Pair it with the nearby Prado only if you have room for two substantial museum visits.
