The Paseo del Arte in Madrid

THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE OF ART IN MADRID

The Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum along with with the Prado National Museum and the Reina Sofía National Museum and Art Centre form what is known as the “Paseo del Arte” in Madrid, a museum area that houses the most important collections of paintings in Spain, and some of the most important in the world.

In the heart of Madrid we find, within a few metres distance from each other, the Prado National Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum and the Reina Sofía National Museum and Art Centre. It is the so-called Paseo del Arte or Golden Triangle of Art in Madrid, one of the cultural assets that has contributed to the fact that Madrid’s Prado/Retiro axis was recently included as The Landscape of Light on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
