Audio Guide 

The Thyssen-Bornemisza family collected what became one of the world's finest private art collections over a number of generations. The Spanish state bought it from them in 1993 for USD 350 million and converted the early-19th-century neoclassical Villahermosa Palace into a fabulous art gallery. You will see masterpieces by Van Dyck, Durer, Caravaggio, Rubens, Picasso, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Matisse and Kandinsky among others. The collection follows a chronological order running from the 13th to the 20th Century. There is a cafeteria-restaurant, free cloakroom and a conference room. Admission: EUR6; students, senior citizens: EUR4; under-12s: free. Temporary Exhibitions: EUR5; students, senior citizens: EUR4. Combined Admission: EUR9; students, senior citizens: EUR5. Group bookings: taquilla@museothyssen.org, or call +34 91 369 0151.

Matisse 1917-1941
Jun 9th, 2009 to Sep 20th, 2009
A part of Matisse's life that is not spoken of often, is taken into consideration and showcased with a variety of paintings done by the artist himself. Credited with being a pioneer of modern art, his paintings provide a great deal of information regarding the social and cultural context of that time. This exhibition traces his life and influences that helped him to develop his art form. Worth a look if your a fan of the great Matisse.
