Activities

We are inviting young creators and creatives from all over the world to reinterpret works from the collection to compete for new prizes. If you are between 16 and 35 years old, participate on Instagram in this competition that has no limitations of artistic discipline or theme.

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.

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.

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). 

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 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.

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 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. 

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.

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.
