Many of the paintings were by world class artists but some have been an early piece or a "B" grade painting. Interesting. Great Impressionist collection! More

We absolutely loved the "Thyssen"! We actually ended up spending more time there than in the Prado, and liking it better -- certainly it was infinitely more comprehensible. The collection is very far-ranging, both in geographical breadth and representation of styles and periods, but it manages to be far from overwhelming in that it's beautifully organized and labelled. The surroundings,... More

In a city with an overabbundance of art museums, this one should be at the top of your list. Spectacular range of art and very well laid out, makes for an interesting visit even for those not-so enthusiastic about art - I would suggest this gallery over the Prado. The restaurant also offers a well-priced menu - just what you... More

Although this is a unique collection, it is spoilt by the continual loud talking of private tour guides. The individual galleries are quite small and the loud voices of the guide echos off the walls and makes it very hard to concentrate. I hired the audio guide but, a lot of the time, could not hear it. I did complain... More

Excellent collection. Allow several hours to spend here as it is extensive and encompasses a huge period. More

The Prado is magnificent... but it is massive, and I for one don't care so much for the Old Masters... much prefer 19th and 20th century art, and Thyssen is a great place for that. It is just the right size to go for a stress-free tour. More

One of the things that we enjoyed the most about this Art Gallery was the organized way in which it was laid out. The audio guide was great. The variety of artists was wonderful. A very positive experience. More

From the Dutch masters of the early 17th century to Piet Mondrain there is something in this museum for anyone who appreciates art. There are American paintings from Remmington, Homer, Whistler, Twachtman and several others. There are works by Corot and Courbet; the major impressionists Pissaro, Sisley, Monet, Manet, Morrisot, Degas; the post-impressionists Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cezanne; Early 20th century... More
