David AMarch 1, 2015This has to be one of the best private collections of art in the world. Collection starts with ancient Italian art and ends with Pop art. Start on the top floor and work your way down
TripStoryApril 24, 2012One of the best museums in the world. A range of famous paintings covering a wide range of periods. A must see on a visit to Madrid. Spend some time wandering the streets. Stop and have some tapas!- Marsh MallowApril 3, 2015After El Prado, this is the best art museum in Madrid. Great collection of masters from medieval to 20th Century. Perfect to have a comprehensive vision of the history of art.Upvoted Sep 11
Sam AnthonySeptember 26, 2017Really well curated museum. It often gets overshadowed by its bigger neighbors but it's worth a visit. Free on Mondays.
JaneMay 25There’s a free cloakroom. The permanent collections have ~50 rooms. It took me 2.5 hrs to see everything. Get an audio guide for €5.
Anita ŚliwińskaAugust 10, 2016Museum is en el Palacio de Villahermosa (Paseo del Prado). Offers a variety of masterpieces from 13th to late 20th century. I liked most final rooms with avant-grade pop art collection.
JB ADecember 22, 2015An amazingly diverse collection - simply stunning. From Noon to 4 pm on Mondays, it is free as well! Use the website to plan your tour through the museum for best use of time.
Rafael MarinAugust 15, 2020The museum is just spectacular. Visit the Rembrant special exhibition and the impressionist gallery on the first floor.

Justine GAugust 13, 2017Allow 2h30-3h for this museum, or skip the medieval bit - the last rooms are absolutely amazing & you'll wish you'd allowed more time for them! Not a lot of signs - download the apps for explanations.- Frances JamesMay 30, 2018Art museum #3 on the must-see list. Free on Mondays! They have some neato obscure famous ones (Edward Hopper, Dali, etc.)
Katerina KlepikovaFebruary 7, 2016A really great museum! Even better than the del Prado in Madrid. Definitely check out Degas paintings!

Two floors with lots of religious art and paintings and ground floor with some of the best modern and contemporary art.- Giacomo MasonNovember 7, 2016One of the best private collections I have ever seen! Nice pieces from every era of painting, love the Caravaggio and the expressionists

Las Rozas Village Outlet ShoppingJuly 16, 2012From Van Eyck to Picasso, the museum offers a full ride through the history of Western Art. On a visit and a half hour one can understand the evolution of painting by the great masters.
Bruna SuzukiAugust 6, 2015Great to see Dali, Renoir, Kandinsky, Van Gough, and many others. On mondays at a determined period of time is free to meet the museum collection.

AndreaSeptember 12, 2014If you like Impressionism as much as I do, it's even better than Prado Museum.
Dave ConroyMay 2, 2014The cafe can be very busy and service slow but worth the wait if you need to refuel before the next gallery visit
Zac NOctober 27, 2015If you actually want to learn something I suggest renting the audio guides they are worth the small eurocharged
