About museums in Madrid

Madrid’s museum triangle and beyond

Madrid is built for museum travellers, especially around its great art collections, but the city also offers royal history, archaeology, decorative arts, naval history, and smaller cultural institutions. The best Madrid museum plan gives time to the major galleries while leaving space for museums that explain Spain’s capital through politics, craft, architecture, and everyday urban life.
