We walked from near the Prado to this museum, it was further than we had anticipated, but well worth the walk. Here you see a private art collection in the owner's beautiful home. You'll find paintings by Goya, El Greco, and Velasquez to mention a few. As well as the paintings there are hundreds of beautiful objects de arte. The... More

On our last day in Madrid, we discovered this hidden gem in an upscale neighborhood near the US Embassy. It is located in the Lazaro Mansion, which itself is worth the visit. The Lazaro family were avid collectors with an enormous appetite. Minimalism was not in their vocabulary. The collection includes paintings, scultpure (bronze, ivory and wood), porcelain, armory (swords,... More

The founder was like a magpie collecting objects in a wide range of areas. Enjoyable and interesting to see if you have time. There are better museums in Madrid but the collection is interesting.

This museo was excellent - the highlight for me were the ceilings - wish I could have lain on the floor taking it all in. Definitely worth a visit but their website that says it is gratis on a Wednesday is just five years out of date - but the entry fee of 6 euros and only 3 euros for... More

Fantastic surprise of a museum located in a beautiful mansion. This man's collection is fascinating, diverse and impressive. There are ceiling frescos in each of the rooms. It was incredible to be in such a beautiful space.

why did that man collect all that trash? beautiful building though. Great location in the barrio de salamanca.

It was very quiet when we weere there and you could get close to the works for as long as you... More

Spent Saturday afternoon (til 1600 only) here - best expresso machine, and only 60 cents per cup! This collection is amazing - not just what is on the walls and in the main displays, but the excess materials viewable in drawers on the top floor. And photography of all the good stuff is allowed. Take a taxi here as it... More

Whenever I visit Madrid, I like to visit the Museo Lazaro Galdiano. It is a small museum and few people visit it, so you can find peace and quiet in the museum. This allows you to concentrate on the art work. I especially enjoy seeing the works of Goya and the jewelry.
