The Thyssen Museum holds one of the most diverse and richest art collections in Madrid.

This private collection, once regarded as the most significant of its kind, was generously transferred to the Spanish State in 1993, largely thanks to the invaluable efforts of the Baroness Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza.
