Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid
 Duccio, Van Eyck, Carpaccio, Lucas Cranach, Dürer,
Caravaggio, Rubens, Frans Hals, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Kirchner, Mondrian, Klee,
Hopper, Rauschenberg ... These
are just some of the great masters of art history whose works are on display at
the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid. The museum currently houses two
collections from the Thyssen-Bornemisza collector-lineage: the
Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection, acquired by the Spanish government from Baron
Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza in 1993 and on permanent display since the
museum opened in 1992; and the Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection, owned by
the baron’s widow and held in deposit by the museum since 2004. These two
collections comprise almost one thousand works of art, most of them paintings,
with which the museum offers a stroll down the history of European painting,
from its beginning in the 13th century to the close of the 20th century. 09-26-2007
