A journey through art history from the 13th to the 20th century

Central Spain Tour ~ Madrid (Region)
Nearly a thousand exhibits cover all major periods and schools of Western art, from the Renaissance to Mannerism, Baroque, Rococo, and Romanticism, as well as 19th- and 20th-century art and Pop Art. The museum also showcases works from movements underrepresented in state-owned collections, such as Impressionism, Fauvism, German Expressionism, and the experimental avant-garde of the early 20th century. The museum also boasts a significant collection of 19th-century American painting, a unique find among European museums.

Visitors are captivated by works by great painters such as Dürer, Raphael, Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Manet, Renoir, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Kandinsky, Picasso, Hopper, and Rothko. This international collection, now state-owned, began as a private collection, shaped by the refined tastes of its two principal founders: Baron Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza (1875-1947) and his son, Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza (1921-2002). In 2004, the Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection joined, lending over 200 works to complement the styles and schools already represented in the permanent collection.
