Explore the art sanctuary of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum.

Explore the art sanctuary of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum is one of the most famous museums in Madrid and is highly recommended for art lovers. You can buy tickets online in advance or on-site. The museum is free every Monday, but there will be a lot of people in line, so it is recommended to arrive early. After entering the hall, if you have large backpacks and carry-on luggage, you need to store them at the counter on the right. Walking into the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in the center of Madrid, you can immediately feel the cultural charm and artistic atmosphere of this museum. You can see huge paintings and royal tapestries in the hall. The neoclassical architecture of the Villahermosa Palace is solemn and elegant, and the exterior of the museum is perfectly integrated with the surrounding blocks. After checking the ticket, you can go up to the first floor and start this tour. The exhibitions of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum are mainly distributed on three floors, each showing works of different themes and artistic genres. Due to its wide collection, the exhibition layout is very organized. Visitors can gradually understand the evolution of Western art in chronological order or by artistic genre. The first floor mainly displays art works from the early Renaissance to the 17th century, especially the representative works of the Italian and Flemish schools. The second floor covers the art of the 17th to 18th centuries, including Baroque and Rococo works. The third floor displays 19th-century Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and 20th-century modern art works, especially the representative works of the avant-garde and abstract art. Entering the first floor of the museum, I was immediately attracted by the novelty and weird paintings of the temporary exhibition. The content of the first floor exhibition hall varies with the theme, and many temporary exhibition paintings are very exciting and interesting. The exhibition themes on the second and third floors are somewhat homogeneous, but most of the works are also treasured boutiques. The entire visit to the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum takes about two hours, and there are usually many people. You can refer to the opening hours and go early to avoid the peak. As one of the most famous museums in Madrid, I highly recommend going here. Moreover, the surrounding area is located in the city center, with convenient transportation, not far from other attractions such as the Naval Museum, which can be visited together.
