this is a fantastic gallery/museum for any person with an interest in art. the building in itself is fantastic, spread over several floors, with permanent and visiting exhibitions.

Now you should understand why I recommend to visit the Thyssen Bornemisza first: its collection is most accessible to the novice. There are only two other museums in Europe which I could recommend for the same reason: the MuseumLudwig in Cologne, and the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
Let's begin the tour.
