Learn with us about the History of Western Painting in one of the best museums in the world to do so!
The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum Guided Tour takes you through a careful selection of masterpieces that narrate the history of Western painting, from the Renaissance to the twentieth century, with geniuses such as Picasso, El Greco, Dalí or Kandinsky.
Housed in the elegant Palacio de Villahermosa, this museum is a veritable encyclopedic compendium of European painting. With nearly a thousand works on display, the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza offers a visual journey from the Flemish primitives to the avant-garde of the last century.
Accompanied by our expert guides, and in a small group of up to 15 people, you will explore the rooms discovering hidden details, curiosities and the historical context that gave life to each work. From the chromatic intensity of Renaissance portraits to the abstract compositions of the 20th century, each piece comes alive with the stories that surround it.
Not only will you enjoy the paintings: the building itself, an 18th century palace, is worth the visit. Surrounded by squares and gardens, it offers a perfect setting for a relaxed cultural experience in the heart of Madrid.
If you are looking for a complete cultural experience that combines art, history and a unique architectural setting, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum Guided Tour is the perfect choice. You will finish your visit with a clear and exciting vision of the evolution of European painting over eight hundred years.

Punctuality is essential in this type of visit. Many museums and monuments work with access time slots, security controls and tickets assigned at a specific time, so arriving late may prevent you from joining the group or reduce the effective time of the visit.
As a general rule, no. Unless otherwise indicated in the tour description, large backpacks, suitcases or bulky luggage are not allowed in the museum or monument. These objects must be left in the checkroom when the museum or monument has a checkroom service. Many museums expressly limit or prohibit suitcases and large items for security and conservation reasons.
If the checkroom or lockers on the premises are full or if luggage does not fit or is not allowed, it will be necessary to use an external luggage storage service. Some museums have limited lockers or do not accept certain objects, so we recommend that you bring the minimum necessary.
Museums generally request that small backpacks be carried on the front of the body during the visit, as a protective measure for the works of art and to facilitate movement through the exhibition halls and exhibition spaces. This guideline appears expressly in the access regulations of some large museums.
Usually, yes. In many museums and heritage sites there are security checks and bag or personal items are checked before access. It is therefore advisable to arrive well in advance and avoid carrying unnecessary or bulky objects.
