Link profile: Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza


Category: Start / Great Cities of Spain / Madrid / Museums / Golden Triangle
The second corner of Madrid's "golden triangle" of art galleries, the Thyssen is the result of two lifetimes' collection, by the baron of the same title and his father. Old Masters (Holbein, Raphael, Carpaccio, Caravaggio, Canalleto...) on the top floor. On the first floor (second to Americans), a lovely collection of nineteenth-century romantic and realistic painting: American (James Whistler, John Singer Sargent...), British and European. Then a fabulous collection of impressionists (Manet, Monet, Renoir) and post-impressionists (Gaugin, Touluse Lautrec, Vincent Van Gogh). Expressionist works (Munch, Kandinsky) and finally a collection of works labelled "experimental and avant-garde," including works by Picasso, Mondrian, Jackson Pollock, Magritte, Dali, Liechtensteing, Lucian Freud... practically everyone who was anyone in twentieth-century art.
