About Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza
Opened in 1992 in the renovated Palacio de Villahermosa, the Thyssen-Bornemisza was acquired by the Spanish state from the Thyssen family in 1993. It complements the Prado's Spanish strengths with works the national collections previously lacked.
Visitors begin in the thirteenth century on the top floor and walk down through the Renaissance, the Baroque, the Impressionists, and the twentieth-century avant-garde.
