"Tucked into a pink, 18th-century mansion, this museum sheds light on the day-to-day life of Madrid’s high bourgeoisie during the Romantic period. It’s a fitting way to start a visit to Salesas, giving you context for the lives that unfolded in the barrio’s now repurposed mansions during their heyday, and locals love its courtyard garden, which serves as a calm, cool respite from the beautiful chaos of the neighborhood." - Elizabeth Wellington Rollins
