Il programma nel dettaglio
The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection is one of the most important private collections of paintings of the 20th century and its history is a fascinating one. Although originally a private collection, today it belongs to the Spanish public after its acquisition by the government in 1993, just a year after the museum was opened. In 2004 a significant part of the Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection was added to it; a collection of over two hundred works that add to the examples of artistic styles and genres of the permanent collection.
Dürer, Rafael, Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Manet, Renoir, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Kandinsky, Picasso, Hopper, Rothko. This is just part of the impressive list of great names that make up this collection, the work of just two generations. As though from a textbook, all the artistic movements of Western art from the 13th to 20th centuries are included in the collection, highlighting the exquisite taste of Baron Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza (1875-1947) and of his son Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza (1921-2002).
During the guided tour you will enjoy the great artworks from Caravaggio, Ghirlandaio, Canaleto, the paintings from the main impressionist and post-impressionist artists such as Degas, Cezanne, Renoir and Van Gogh. In addition we will see some artworks from renowned Pop Art artists such as Lichtenstein.
At the end of the tour you will be able to come back to the museum during the same day because the tickets are valid for all the day.
