While the Exhibits are on a par with other museums in the Madrid many of the exhibits only contain notes in Spanish. We utilised the self guided tour but had issues with the tour. Unfortunately we were not the only ones. That said the Exhibits are well worth a visit.

€12 is €12 too much. Of five floors, two were closed. Of the three remaining, floors one and three seemed liked the Museum just let anyone display their work (arguably not art). Several rooms on these floors appeared to be a display of hoarders’ items - a hodgepodge of garage-like items. Several displays were simply pictures taken at protest sites, cardboard cutouts painted black with Walmart streamers attached. We were thoroughly disappointed that such a museum would display such nonsense. To be fair, though, the second floor was art. If €12 covered the three functioning floors, this amount should be divided by three and visitors should be charged €4 as only one floor contained any sort of objective art. This museum is free after 7pm - free is probably the proper amount to charge visitors.

We visited at 7pm and entered for free. The museum has a beautiful curation of art which were neatly categorised based on the various art movements. However, a good number of the staff were not polite at all, perhaps it was because many visitors then had entered for free, or the staff have had a long day, but that does not excuse their behaviour & general demeanour to the visitors. We would visit again purely for the art, but this museum could work on better training their staff.

Too much to see in one visit! We came specifically to see the painting Guernica by Pablo Picasso, located on the second floor, so we spent all our time there. Many videos, sculptures, paintings and drawings created between 1900 and 1945, mostly focusing on war. Metal detector at entrance. People over 65 with ID get free admission! Guards everywhere. No photos allowed in some areas, including Guernica.

This is an excellent museum if your preference is for modern / 20th century art. It has excellent displays of avant guarde art and compelling photo exhibits of the 20th century. If you are not a fan of modern art, and especially cubist and surrealism, this will not enjoy the experience. If you do like such are, you will be more than happy.

A great collection of art, good mix of modern and contemporary. The basement holds a number of installations of social justice related works which I love to see. Each room had a sheet to read the artist's statement and some background of the related issue, in Spanish or English. Upstairs held contemporary art, such as paintings by Picasso and Dali, including a huge piece by Picasso. Aside from those though, not too much more resonated with me. This museum is huge and was really confusing getting around, directional signage is not good. Really accessible from the metro though. We did this museum last on the Golden Triangle of Art and by this museum I was exhausted so I wasn't able to enjoy it fully, nor finish the museum before closing.

Fantastic evening visit (it is open till 2100!) to this beautiful museum. The collection is housed in a fine building which is a former 18th century hospital. The works themselves are excellent. The highlight for me was to see Guernica. Of course there is lots more modern art with emphasis on Spanish greats - Miro, PIcasso and Dali.

We were really looking forward to visiting and maybe should have research a little more before we went. Most of the art seen just wasn’t for us and was very much like secondary school art. My favourite however was the work of Gerard Vulliamy as this kept my interest for some time during the visit.

I especially enjoyed their works of Salvador’s Dali and Picasso. We spent quite a bit of time in the Picasso area. I also really enjoyed seeing so much of Europe’s history through the art representation.

Decided to visit museum spontaneously in the morning after unseccessfull attempt to go to Toledo from Atocha. 5 minutes after opening there was no any people waiting in line at ticket office, so we managed quickly get in. For modern art lovers, names of Picaso and Dali tells everything. I personally liked very much architectural part of exhibition ( drawing, pictures etc. ).
