Art and Culture in Madrid

"“El Thyssen,” as locals call it, is the third museum on Madrid’s Art Promenade. Formerly Europe’s largest private collection, it has been the property of the Spanish state since 1992. The permanent collection is comprised of about 1,000 paintings from the 13th to 20th century by artists such as Caravaggio, Rubens, Monet, Van Gogh, Gauguin, etc. If you don’t feel like wandering the museum galleries at random, take one of the thematic tours, like “Fashion,” “Inclusive Love,” “Food,” and more. Keep an eye out for the temporary exhibitions scheduled regularly." - MATADOR_NETWORK
