The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum travel guide

The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collect has one of the finest private art collections in the world.

Duccio, Van Eyck, Carpaccio, Kandinsky, Lucas Cranach, Dürer, Caravaggio, Rubens, Frans Hals, Titian, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Monet, Kirchner, Picasso, Mondrian, Klee, Hopper, Rauschenberg, to name but a few are among the great artists you will find at the museum. The museum is structured in such a way that you can actually take a journey through art, from its 13th Century till the last decades of the 20th Century.

You can follow the progress of art from Italian Primitives, with Duccio as the main example, until the latest Surrealism and the development of the Pop sensibility in the Sixties, together with the most important painters of the Figurative current of our times.” The museum has an unique collection of American Nineteenth Century Painting, practically unknown in Europe and shown in two rooms of the Museum.

The museum itself was constructed in 1760 and over the years architects included Silvestre Pérez and Antonio López in 1783 and 1805 respectively. However, much of what we currently see was remodeled by Rafael Moneo.
