The NH Housekeeper’s Tips
The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum is located in the neoclassical palace of Villahermosa along the famous Paseo del Prado, one of the most historic boulevards in Madrid. The museum forms part of the “Golden Triangle of Art”, along with the Prado and Reina Sofia art galleries. Let us guide you through all the wonders that continue driving millions of visitors to the museum.
Madrid's Thyssen Museum, which is now one of the best-known museums in the world, began as a private collection of pieces amassed in the 1920s by Heinrich, Baron Thyssen-Bornemisza de Kászon. His father, who had made his fortune in the steel industry, had already shown interest in art by collecting several pieces by Rodin. However, it was Heinrich who began acquiring different masterpieces by painters like Hans Holbein, Van Eyck or Caravaggio from the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York and the Otto Kahn Collection.
Later, Hans, Heinrich’s son, expanded the already impressive collection with modern pieces from the avant-garde and the German expressionist movements. While originally exhibited at the Villa Favorita palace in Lugano (Switzerland), and split up after Heinrich’s death, this collection of masterpieces ended up in Spain thanks, in part, to Carmen Cervera, Hans’ wife. They have been exhibited in Madrid since the museum was founded in 1992. Part of the collection currently belongs to the Spanish state, and it is exhibited along with other works owned by the Baroness and by other members of the Thyssen family.
A visit to the Thyssen Museum is one of the key things to do in Madrid. Boasting an excellent inventory of over 1600 paintings, the museum is a superb place to trace the evolution of art from the 13th century up to the modern day. Glimpse the works of 19th century American masters such as John Singleton Copley, John Singer Sargent and Winslow Homer, or meditate upon the Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo and Romantic epochs. Works by some of the biggest names in the history of art, like El Greco, Caravaggio, Rambrandt, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Vincent van Gogh, Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and many more, can be found at the museum. You can even view pop art at the Thyssen Museum and get a feel for the avant-garde movements as shown in paintings from the 20th century. The personal collection of Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza, the wife of Hans, is also on loan to the museum. It consists of 200 pieces originating from various periods.
To stroll through the building’s halls is to enjoy masterpieces from all of art’s history from up close. You can pay special attention to works like The Annunciation by Jean Van Eyck, Saint Catherine of Alexandria by Caravaggio, or Man with a Clarinet by Picasso.
Other major paintings that draw masses to the Thyssen Museum in Madrid include Self-portrait wearing a Hat and two Chains by Rembrandt, Woman with a Parasol in a Garden by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Seated Man by Paul Cézanne, and Girl at a Sewing Machine by Edward Hopper.
