Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza

About

The Museo Nacional Thyssen‑Bornemisza sits proudly on Paseo del Prado in Madrid, forming the Golden Triangle of Art together with the Prado and Reina Sofía museums. Its eclectic collection spans nearly a millennium of Western painting, from medieval masters like Durer and Piero to modern giants such as Picasso, Dali and Miro. Visitors can explore the almost 1,000 works on permanent display and also enjoy a rotating schedule of temporary exhibitions — the current highlight is the “Warhol, Pollock and other American spaces” exhibition, featuring works by Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock and John Akomfrah. Access to the museum is free for Mastercard holders and on Saturdays from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., courtesy of the “Nights Thyssen with Uber” partnership. The museum’s straightforward hours run from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays, with a brief two‑hour free evening slot on Saturdays. With free admission and a world‑class collection, the Thyssen‑Bornemisza is a must‑visit for art lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
