Direct, timed entry to the third museum of Madrid’s Golden Triangle of Art — a private collection spanning seven centuries, from the Renaissance to Impressionism.
Open Tuesday–Sunday — most visits take 1.5–2 hoursFrom €14
The experience
A private collection turned national museum — seven centuries of European painting the Prado and Reina Sofía don’t hold.
Built from the private collection of the Thyssen-Bornemisza family and acquired by the Spanish state in 1993, the museum fills the gaps either side of the Prado and Reina Sofía — Italian and Northern Renaissance work, German Expressionism, American painting and Impressionism, none of it well represented in Madrid’s other two major museums.
This ticket covers the permanent collection with direct, timed entry, completing the walk along the Paseo del Arte alongside the Prado and Reina Sofía.
