Overview

Make sure to visit the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum in Madrid, home to one of the world's most impressive and extensive art collections. Thanks to German-Hungarian industrialist Baron Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza, art collecting became his passion, gifting the world a rich legacy of masterpieces. With an open-dated ticket, you can explore this cultural treasure at your convenience. While the name might be tricky to pronounce, the museum's collection is undeniably exceptional. It spans centuries of art history, featuring iconic works from renowned artists like Van Gogh, Rembrandt, and Picasso. Start on the top floor with medieval art and journey through history, from the Renaissance to Impressionism, Expressionism, and Pop Art. With each floor, you will experience a dynamic evolution of artistic movements, making this museum an unforgettable cultural experience. Currently on view, Terraphilia is a special temporary exhibition organized in collaboration with TBA21–Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary that explores our deep emotional and ethical connection with the Earth and its diverse life forms. Featuring around 100 works from the Thyssen-Bornemisza, Carmen Thyssen, and TBA21 collections—by artists such as Joachim Patinir, Wassily Kandinsky, Natalia Goncharova, and Dineo Seshee Bopape—the exhibition spans five centuries of artistic expression. Through seven interwoven themes, including mythology, cosmology, ecology, and spirituality, Terraphilia invites visitors to reconsider humanity’s place in the natural world. It offers a visionary experience rooted in interspecies kinship and planetary care, positioning art as a guide for transformative thinking in the face of today’s environmental and social challenges.
