Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum

The wide range of European art, from the Renaissance to Pop Art, that can be found at the Thyssen Museum originally comes from a family of rich collectors. The exhibits have been built up over several generations and were bought by the Spanish government in the 1990s, when they were moved into their new home, a neo-classical palace that suits them perfectly. Across the two floors of the museum, the works of art are sorted according to their artistic trend. They include Mata Mua by Gauguin, Hopper’s Hotel Room, Portrait of George Dyer in a mirror by Bacon and Caravaggio’s Saint Catherine of Alexandria, and give visitors the chance to explore all the nuances of the history of art.
