Activities

On Saturdays and Sundays from July to September, the museum offers one-hour guided tours of the exhibition (Saturdays at 17.30 and Sundays at 12.00). 

Through our guided tours on weekends and public holidays you can learn in detail about the life and work of the artists, their influences and motivations, and why they became icons of art.

During the months of July and August the museum is inviting local people and visitors to take refuge from the heat during the peak hours of the day and enjoy free short flamenco performances by renowned artists.

Walk through the rooms of the collection in semi-darkness and discover a selection of the versions of this edition, projected next to the original paintings. Abril Zamora will announce the winning works.To close the ceremony, we’ll be joined by a concert from Sila Lua! The Galician artist will present, for the first time live, a full-band format that elevates her work to a new dimension. With an open outlook, Sila Lua expands on her previous sounds and rhythms, adding new traits and references, and managing to transcend them within a new framework driven by the organic energy and dynamism of the acoustic ensemble.

Friends have the opportunity to enjoy a preview of the exhibition before it opens to the public, as well as guided private tours, both in-person and online, with options of different dates and times.

Art and wine go hand in hand in a unique experience that joins the Thyssen with the symbolic Mercado de San Miguel. An interesting way to explore gastronomic culture and art.

What do we feel when we look at a work of art? Although the experience of art is deeply subjective, our reactions can be measured and analysed. Discover this research project that unites art, technology and health.

The museum and CaixaForum+ begin a new collaboration, thanks to which two documentary series will premiere on the platform in May: Return to Nature and Love Letters to the Cities

The 10th edition of the “Short break” programme will be taking Friends to Turin in order to visit Artissima, one of Italy’s most important contemporary art fairs.

In this edition of Traveling with the painting, the Friends have the opportunity to travel to Florence and follow in the footsteps of Fra Angelico's The Virgin of Humility, which the museum has temporarily loaned for inclusion in the exhibition on that Renaissance master scheduled this autumn by the Palazzo Strozzi.

The new edition of Tardes Thyssen will be presenting an original and eclectic musical programme performed on the museum’s Terraces, featuring ten national and international artists and spanning genres such as pop-folk, electronic, and post-punk.

Paul Klee and his painting Revolving House (1921) are the protagonists of the September edition of the “Focus on the work” programme.

The fourth edition of Vision and Presence features ten performative actions over the course of the year which have been expressly created to be seen in the museum.

The museum organizes a series of conversations to pay tribute to the collectors who ensure the continuing renewal of contemporary art and its system. 

With this virtual guided tour you can travel through seven centuries of art history through fifteen masterpieces and delve deeper into our collection. Narrated by our curators, discover the little stories hidden in the paintings at any time and pause the guided tour whenever you want.

Take a closer look at the works in the collection from the point of view of the museum's restorers and you will learn about the treatments carried out on the paintings as well as some of the secrets and curiosities hidden in a selection of our Masterpieces.

Every three months and with the change of season the museum organises a tour based on works in its collection which reflect the nature and light of the different seasons, continuing with a visit to the Royal Botanical Garden in Madrid.

Friends will have the opportunity to visit the exhibition of works by Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock, two key 20th century artists.

Once again this season, we are offering tours of the museum and the Royal Botanical Garden which focus on the different seasons of the year. In this new edition the protagonists are autumn’s red and golden tones.
