Disadvantages: none

...You may not want to go all the way to Madrid to visit an arts museum, but should you ever get there, the Museo Thyssen Bornesmisza could be THE place to get you interested in painting, maybe for the first time. I am writing this review for those of you who until now probably couldn't care less about the fine arts, let alone paintings. Maybe you have regarded the interest in arts to be pseudo intellectual, or too difficult to get into, or you have just been turned away by one of these dark and pompous works by an old Flamish master.

The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, so its full name, is one of the three famous museums of fine art in Madrid, a trio which includes the Museo del Prado and the Museo Thyssen Bornemisza. I have discussed the Thyssen Bornemisza at length in my previous opinion, and have recommended it as an introduction to fine arts for the novice. That's because its collection of Impressionism and Expressionism is rather easy to comprehend and enjoy. The third and most famous is the Museo del Prado which covers the earlier periods of Renaissance, Baroque and Rokoko, and culminates in the collection of Spanish masters... Read review
