Yes. Add this museum to your list of MUST do in Madrid! - First: You must see the Prado (of course).
BUT then you need to schedule time to see this impressive private collection as well and to truly understand it and enjoy it (especially if you aren't a art historian) you need to sign up to take this tour with Stefania. She was absolutely amazing in her knowledge and presentation. Her passion for the pieces of art and her guidance through this impressive collection made all the difference in the world. As someone who wants to understand why certain pieces of art stand out or even the history of how a particular piece of art came to be in this private collection... she is the guide to walk you through those topics. I simply cannot recommend this museum or Stefania enough

Very good museum tour - It is very informative and because it is a small group (in my case I was the only one) you get the chance to make inquiries and actually learn about the artworks you are seeing

Great tour! - Our tour had only 4 participants. Alex provided us with an extensive overview of the ‘permanent’ works in the Museum (‘permanent’ as opposed to special exhibits, as works are switched out from time to time). We were glad for all the time he spent with us, yet still wanted to come back for more.

A perfect experience! - Being with Magdalena made the visit of the gallery a thousand times better, a sober and fun, interesting, complex but without being burdensome... the perfect time to enjoy and learn without becoming unnecessarily overloaded. Also, it is a privilege to be my mother, grandmother, sister and myself alone with her; with a small group, the treatment is more personalized and the conversation flows in a very interesting way. It was an excellent guide, that controlled without a doubt the material that we asked and very attentive with our questions and needs, and super punctual! Definitely a 10!

Excellent Tour - Excellent tour of an amazing collection of paintings from the thirteen hundreds to the late twentieth century. Great way to learn about the history of art, especially painting, and how societal norms impacts art and vice versa. Don't miss this guided tour of this very special museum.

Thyssen Bornemiza Museum with Macarena as an excellent guide. It was a short but very good experience. - To let them know that Viator is a trustable and knowledgeable company. I have used several times and haven’t been disappointed.

Diverse and wonderful - Unlike other museums that have a limited focus, the Thyssen displays a private art collection ranging from the Middle Ages to modernity and from various countries of origin. Our guide Belén was friendly and knowledgeable, she had selected a choice number of artworks to focus on from the various eras featured. Highly recommended.

Thyssen museum - Alex our guide was very helpful and showed a real love of art. He was kind and answered all questions. He made the art come alive with the stories he told about each art piece.

Great intimate tour! - We had a wonderful tour with Macarena; she was engaging and enthusiastic in her description on various pieces throughout the museum. I really enjoyed the art history aspect as we went through the different periods, and distinctions in techniques and thought that goes into the artwork based on the time period. She was very thoughtful and made sure to answer questions and even offered us a drink of her water :) very kind and knowledgeable!!
