Highlights of Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza Tickets
- The Thyssen-Bornemisza museum exists thanks to the private collection of 2 family members who made collecting art their hobby. The collection was started by Baron Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza de Kászon (1875-1947), a German-Hungarian industrialist, and was increased by his son, Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza (1921-2002).
- In 2004 Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza's collection of over 200 works, many bequest from the Baron, were welcomed into the museum on deposit.
- The 3-floor museum is housed in the beautiful Palacio de Villahermosa, the building was actually remodelled by Rafael Moneo specifically for the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection.
- The museum now contains one of the largest private art collections in the world, each piece having been carefully curated over many years so that all the principal movements of art are represented.
Is It Suitable for Me?
- Perfect for all art lovers – This museum covers all genres so there's something for everyone to enjoy whether you appreciate artworks from the old masters or enjoy looking at modern art, fashion, or jewellery.

- If you have already visited The Prado and/or Reina Sofia museums, a trip to The Thyssen will fill in the missing historical gaps as it contains Italian primitives, works of art from the English, German, and Dutch schools of art plus Impressionists, Expressionists, and 20th century European and American paintings.
