Great art, no complains on that end! Although, the layout is incredibly confusing. Ended up buying an audio tour and still got lost, but once we got on track was great. Highly would recommend the audio tour and getting a lay of the land from the staff when you enter.

If you’re a Dali, Picasso or modern art fan, or interested in the visual culture of the far right and far left in Spain, this is definitely the place for you. Be careful when you turn up - the queue can be massive or totally non existent depending on the time of day. Well worth a visit

This is another must see for art lovers in Madrid. It features one of Picasso’s most important work, Guernica. There are also some very important pieces to trace development of his work. His contemporaries like Dali & Man Ray are exhibited side by side. It’s a good display of some of the greatest artists in the turn of the last century.

Very beautiful and full collection but several problems are present all at once: 1) with all due respect I do not understand why it’s not possible paying together the tickets and audio guides. 2) The audio guides cover 1% of the art displayed and sincerely not the most curious ones. There is no minimal explanation of other works of art, neither the material and techniques used in English, Spanish only. Few works we could not find in the room it was saying and the sense of the guide was chaotic enough and didn’t cover all the rooms, and as written above, very few pieces explained and also explained quite partially. 3) The main thing that drove me crazy is how the museum is not made for people. There are no any kind of seats and if you lean on to the wall or sit bend on knees, the staff comes immediately and communicates you it’s forbidden. The space is huge and you can spend hours inside. Why not make it visitors-friendly and comfortable? I had a backache and couldn’t wait to leave no matter my curiosity and interest in the collection. I think you would be able to report the staff forbidding you sitting on the floor of a museum in countries like US and Germany. Hope things will change with the time, especially in such a friendly and innovative city (Chat GPT on Madrid tourist official website is something I didn’t expect and works flawlessly).

I spent hours here, mesmerised by the intricate detail of the art works. The museum was not crowded which made it much more enjoyable! Helpful staff recommended starting on Level 2, then 4 and 1. (3 was not open) Highly recommend setting aside a couple of hours to visit whilst in Madrid!
