Museo del Romanticismo

This wonderful mansion has been beautifully preserved, and is filled with the most extraordinary collection of romantic artwork, furnishing and sculpture. The collection includes beautiful clocks in laid tables. furniture, and wonderful paintings. Set over two floors you are taken back in time to an era of elegance and high decoration. It is a beautiful example of the romantic period and well worth a visit.

This is my favourite museum in Madrid and I’ve been here over 5 times. It’s lesser known, quaint, well-organized, and accessible with wheelchairs available on premises for visitors. It takes about 1 hour to complete. Their coffee shop and garden were exquisite - however, they are currently closed for reconstruction.

My colleague suggested I stop in here, as it is one of her favorite museums, and I’m so glad I did! The rooms are absolutely breathtaking, and now I just want to go and find the cutest settee for my house. A must see destination when visiting Madrid, it’s smaller for a museum, so it only took me about an hour, but so worth it!

Beautiful collection of nineteenth century furniture, paintings, porcelain, and other furnishings, housed in a two storey town house/palace that was constructed in the 1700s. Museum was founded in 1924 to house the private collection of Benigno de la Vega-Inclan, who among other things was responsible for preserving key parts of Spanish patrimony 100 years ago (e.g. the home of El Greco, one of the homes of Cervantes, the Alcazar in Sevilla). Information in museum could be better - for example, I had to get info about Vega-Inclan from a Google search. Summary: worth a visit.

The museum was excellent and very interesting, and the entry price offered brilliant value. However, some interactions with security staff negatively affected our experience. A member of staff adjusted my tiny handbag to the front of my body, while others with much larger handbags were not asked, and a warning was given about standing too close to a display even though other visitors at the same distance were not approached. We also felt observed more closely than others, which created an impression of being singled out — something we have not experienced in any other attraction. There is nothing wrong with being strict and ensuring the exhibitions are protected, but it is important that the same rules are applied consistently to all visitors. That said, another security staff member was very friendly and helpfully translated information into English, and overall the museum is still recommended.

Great place to go if you are in the nearby area, entire visit takes around 40 minutes. It's small but really well maintained and beautiful. The staff was really friendly and provided us with free entrance due to an ongoing event.

Beautiful and interesting place🥹 We walking in this museum around 1,5 hours and this time was perfect🤍

Probably my favorite museum during my visit. I went on Viernes Santo during lent, so there was no admission charge. The price would’ve been worth it though. There was an aura to this place, not overwhelming and the neighborhood was very nice. The pictures I took do NOT do justice.

This is one of the coolest museums I've ever been in. You're transported back in time, and I am obsessed with all the clocks, settees, and poufs all over. The colors. The colors!!!!!! I need an emerald green couch now STAT. I'm obsessed. There's no other word for it. My colleague told me to go here and I'm soooo glad she did or I'd have missed out on seeing all this amazing furniture. You think you're on a Bridgerton set, I swear. It's a smaller museum and takes about an hour, if was only a 3€ admission too, and it's so so so worth it! Go go go go go!

We went on a Sunday so it was free. It's worth a visit as it's cheap and there are some beautiful pieces in the rooms. It wasn't overly crowded. Employee at the front desk was nice. Plan to spend an hour or more depending on how fast you go through each area and if you take any pictures.

I really liked this place. Entry fee was only 3 euros, I think. We got in free with the National Museum Card (which you can buy at the Prado or other large museums- gets you in free to all the national museums of Spain). You enter the museum and get a guide book which is very helpful. You follow the guidebook through the traditional rooms of the house- vestibule, antechamber, salan, ballroom, living room, antechamber to chapel, chapel (and there's a Goya in the chapel!!!), boudoir, bedroom (ladies and man's) children's playroom (with a very sad statue of a dead child), smoking room, bathroom (with a king's upholstered toilet stool- I wish I could remember which king.) The empire furniture was stunning, and I really enjoyed the paintings. The rooms with the "country people" paintings were especially interesting. If you have time, this is quite a nice place to visit and you will learn a lot in a short time. It reminds me a lot of the fully furnished canal house museums in Amsterdam- you really get a feel for what it must have been like to be rich in Madrid in the past. The area around it is quaint- and it's not a bad walk from this museum to the archeological museum (which is in back of the national library).

I go to a LOT of museums and this one underwhelmed me. I was very excited since most of the reviews are five stars, but I'm failing to see what merited the glowing reviews. It was a nice enough house museum, and their guidebook did a decent job explaining the different rooms, but it left me wanting something. I can't quite put my finger on it. If you really want an insight into this particular error of Spanish aristocracy living, then this is for you. However, I didn't get a real sense of the family that lived there --which I feel like I've seen other museums convey successfully. This had a sterile feel to it. Seeing the royal toilet was interesting, and there were a few lovely fans and jewelry and doll houses. I would have liked to gotten a better feel for day to say life. They explain in the guidebook what each room was used for, but it still didn't paint the picture for me. Loved the saturated wall colors, and wish they had done more with the dollhouse with the videos of "everyday life" --that was a neat feature. Only €3 per person, but you must have a 1€ coin to use the mandatory lockers. Photos without flash are ok.

Uno de los más desconocidos e inesperados museos de la ciudad. Un elegante viaje a una época mágica. Te sumerges en la vida diaria del momento a través de un recorrido por una casa palacio. Altamente recomendable. Imprescindible no perderse un café en el jardín de la cafetería.
