The Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza is sited in a rather inconspicuous building not to far from the Prado. If you have time to visit it, it is definitely worth a look. It is a collection of art varying from Velazquez through to Liechtenstein and was sold by an aristocratic couple after whom the museum is named, for about $600m. Although not as grand as the Prado, it contains some real gems. My personal favourite is a piece by Salvador Dali, entitled 'Dream inspired by a bee flying round a pomegranite.' Even if the title is unfamiliar, the painting won't be. It is one of his most famous pieces and is a marvel to see. If you are someone interested in seeing how a collection develops through someone's lifetime or simply like good art, it is a must. It also contains a very well stocked gift shop where they sell poster copies of almost all the pictures in the collection
