Thyssen Bornemisza Museum

Just across the street from the Prado is another rare prize, the Thyssen Bornemisza Museum. Here you find a stunning collection of over 800 paintings that span the range of great masters from the 13th century to the present day. Much of this art was the collection of Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen Bornemisza who sold it to the nation in 1993. It is an outstanding collection of western art from Italian and Flemish primitives to modern and pop. You’ll delight in seeing masterpieces by Holbein, Rubens, Hockney, Constable, Winslow, Picasso, Hopper, Sisley, Degas, Titian, Canaletto, Degas, Van Gogh, and Constable, to name but a few.
