Activities

We are back! Surprise us and surprise yourself with your creativity. We are inviting young creators and creatives from all over the world to reinterpret works from the collection to compete for new prizes. 

You have the opportunity to explore, along with one of our experts, the greatest masters’ canvases, with an exclusive tour that let you discover all the secrets, anecdotes and curiosities of some of the most iconic paintings in the History of Art.

This visit to our collection lights up one of the darkest topics in the history of art. It is a way to discover how taboos like sensuality and the reality of love in all its forms were portrayed.

Friends have the opportunity to tour the exhibition on the Sevillian painter and sculptor Carmen Laffón the weekend before it opens to the public, as well as to take part in private guided tours offered in various formats and with different options for dates and times.

The museum is organising a new edition of Routes around the Collection, a course that focuses on the principal artistic movements between the 13^th and the mid-20^th century based on works in the Permanent Collection.

El museo ofrece al público la oportunidad de descubrir Carmen Laffón. Variaciones a través de visitas guiadas los viernes, sábados y domingos de apertura. 

Organismo | Art in Applied Critical Ecologies is an experimental applied research program developed by TBA21–Academy and Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza. It weaves together situated investigation, critical theory, and speculative practices through a series of applied case studies developed in alliance with cultural, academic, and civic entities. 

This in-person activity is designed to introduce Friends to the works in the collection one by one, through an intimate and interactive session held once a month.

The series The Thyssen Through the Eyes Of… comprises a series of events that invite museum staff to share their personal tours of the collection with participants. 

The fifth edition of the performance cycle by women artists, Vision and presence, is presenting ten new performances devised by Spanish and international artists to be staged in different spaces around the museum.

Following the success of the first edition, the museum is now offering the second part of the course In situ / Ex situ sponsored by Visit Flanders, which focuses on the evolution of Flemish painting in the 20^th and 21^st centuries. 

A different Thyssen is an experimental platform within LabThyssen that invites young creators to reinterpret the museum’s collection through contemporary perspectives.

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.

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.
