Museum Tours in Madrid

Here is Madrid Original ® 's guided tours offer for the most interesting of Madrid's Museums... the Prado just being the most famous of all. Spanish painting of the 20 th century has its sanctuary in the Reina Sofía Museum. Western Art can also be tracked through other museums: the Thyssen Foundation (the second best private art collection in the world until it became public when Spain acquired it), the Royal Academy Museum (Spain's oldest art museum),...

"Reina Sofía essentials " will cover representative works by the most influential Spanish artists of the 20th century. The universal Picasso, Miró and Dalí will be joined by their revolutionary colleagues Juan Gris and Julio González among others, to come to our contemporary living legend: Tapiés. This tour will, of course include Picasso's Guernica.

Madrid Original® suggests a guided tour paying particular attention to those aspects of the Thyssen collection that are complementary to Prado and Reina Sofía Museums: Italian Trecento and Quatrocento, German Renaissance, Dutch Baroque, English 18th century painting, French Impressionism, 20th century German Expressionism, Russian avant-garde, American Abstracts,...

The Lázaro Galdiano Museum is a little gem held in a Neo-Renaissance palace in aristocratic quarter "Barrio de Salamanca". 

Goya is represented at the Prado by close to 150 paintings, plus more than 500 drawings and etchings (rarely exhibited). This obviously requires a selection. Our basic proposal is a tour with 10 of his masterworks.

"Prado Essentials"  guided tour covers different masterworks of the most representative schools and artists of all times represented at the Prado. From the Italian Quattrocento to Goya, Madrid Original will propose you a selection of works by the Flemish primitives, Dürer, Raphael, Titian, Greco, Rubens and Velázquez.

Choose a genre of your interest: we will offer you a guided visit to the Prado analyzing the evolution of the specific artistic genre chosen.

Madrid Original® 's "RivalsPicasso, Miró and Dalí" would cover a selection of 16 works of those three universal painters, created before the end of Spanish Civil War. This historic event will mark the limit of the period when the three could be considered to continue at the avant-garde of Modern Art, before new generations opened new trends and left them somehow behind. In our selection, we would include 7 Picasso ("Guernica" among them), 4 Miró and 5 Dalí.

The Museum of the Fine Arts Royal Academy of Saint Ferdinand exhibits the collection of the academic institution where, for instance, Goya taught and Picasso took lessons. As this institution existed even before the Prado, works of Art expropriated (for instance, to the Jesuits during the 18th century or to the ex-Prime Minister Godoy in 1816) had the Royal Academy as natural destination.

More than 50 Velasquez are held at the Prado, and most of them come from the Royal Collection, this being a good indicator of the quality of what the visitor can see in this Museum.

Spend a whole day at the Prado Museum, Madrid’s main cultural landmark, with your own private guide, an art historian who will make of this guided visit a true in-museum art lecture.

You certainly have a favourite artistic school: a period, style and place whose artists you love particularly. The Spanish, Italian and Flemish Schools are strongholds of the Prado Museum.

"A morning with Picasso" guided visit will cover 10 works, representative of all his periods present in the Museum, from his early productions in "Belle Epoque" Paris to his "The painter and his model" 1960's series.

Sorolla is the main representative of what could be considered Spanish Impressionist, although the concept doesn't fit absolutely to the Mediterranean light sea-side views which made him famous all over the world. He was specially appreciated in the United States, where the founder of New York Hispanic Society, Archer Milton Huntington, was his close friend and protector.

Raphael's eight paintings at the Prado represent a remarkably high number for this master in a museum outside Italy. Most of these works belong to his maturity period, and the include some of his finest versions of the "Holy Family", the astonishing portrait of "The Cardinal" and "Il Pasimo di Sicilia", which was considered once the best painting in history.
