Best time to visit the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum

Weekday vs Weekend

#

Weekdays are ideal for a quieter experience with fewer crowds, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the artworks without long waits. Mornings and early afternoons are the best times to explore at a relaxed pace. Weekends are generally busier, especially in the afternoon. Expect more visitors, particularly in high seasons. If visiting on a weekend, arriving early or later in the day can help avoid peak crowds.

Peak season vs low season

#

June to August is the peak tourist season, with longer days and warmer weather. However, it's also the busiest time, which might detract from your museum experience. December to February is considered low season. While it's cooler, hotel prices are generally lower, making it a budget-friendly option for travelers. The museum is less crowded, allowing for a more relaxed visit.

How long should I spend at the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum

Most people recommend spending at least two hours to see the highlights. If you're interested in seeing everything, you could easily spend three or four hours.

The museum is divided into four floors, each of which focuses on a different period of art history. The first floor has a collection of medieval and Renaissance art, the second floor has Baroque and Rococo art, the third floor has Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art, and the fourth floor has Modern and Contemporary art.

If you're short on time, we recommend focusing on the first three floors, which contain some of the museum's most famous paintings. These include Duccio's Madonna and Child, Gauguin's The Yellow Christ, and Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon.
