It is at the end of Paseo del Prado and very close to the Atocha train station is the emblematic Reina Sofia Museum. It was built in the 18th century by King Carlos III as a large hospital that operated until 1965 and was inaugurated as a museum of contemporary art in 1992. Since then it has housed a splendid collection of Spanish and European paintings, sculptures and audiovisuals from the end of the 19th century to the present day. Its works tell us the recent history of Spain and its socio-cultural and political processes. The museum also offers a splendid programme of temporary exhibitions and activities including music, dance and shows.

Let yourself be guided and discover Spain’s recent history, the secrets of Picasso’s Guernica or the surrealism of Dali’s paintings, in a private and exclusive tour, enlightened by the experience of our guides.

Once your visit is over you will discover the famous Thyssen and Bornemisza Museum.

The Thyssen Museum was set up in the former 19th century Villahermosa Palace in 1992 after the Spanish State acquired the most important private art collection in Europe, that of the Thyssen-Bornemisza family.

The tastes of two generations of collectors show us the artistic movements of Western art from the 13th to the 20th century through great masters of painting such as Ghirlandaio, Caravaggio, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Hopper, Lichtenstein or Kooning.
