Museo Palacio Real

The Museo Palacio Real in Madrid is now the main home of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. Originally built as the ducal palace of the Dukes of Villahermosa in the eighteenth century, the building was remodeled in the neoclassical style in 1805. After a comprehensive renovation by the architect Rafael Moneo in 1990, the historic estate now houses a significant art collection. As a protected cultural landmark, it gives you the chance to combine the rich history of the building with its contemporary use as a museum and to experience a diverse selection of artworks in an elegant, historic setting.
