What's on

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.

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.

On Saturdays and Sundays from February to May 2026 the museum will be offering guided tours of the exhibition Hammershøi. The eye that listens, the first retrospective in Spain to be devoted to the Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864-1916).

We invite creators from all over the world to reinterpret works from the collection for a chance to win new prizes. For the first time, and to celebrate the XXV edition of Versiona Thyssen, we are removing the age limit: anyone aged 16 and over can take part on Instagram in this competition, which has no restrictions on artistic discipline or theme. 

Young Friends have the opportunity to take part in a tour of different streets in Madrid in an activity centred on hostile architecture and its presence in the urban environment, led by illustrator and architect Polinho Trapalleiro and journalist and influencer Helio Roque.

This workshop invites visitors to actively engage with the exhibition Pedagogies of War by collaboratively rewriting the texts and labels accompanying the artworks.
