The other two museums on the Walk of Art in Madrid are the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Reina Sofia.
Our next stop was the Thyssen-Bornemisza museum which is primarily a private collection from the family of the same name.

They had collected their pieces over a span of 120 years and then in the 1990s sold it to the Spanish government for $350 million.
They were less maniacal about taking photos, so got some good ones here of mostly impressionists and pop art.
This is a piece by Wassily Kandinsky from 1908 called The Ludwigskirche in München.

Stunning!
There is so much art to see in Madrid – if you come make sure you save time for the Paseo del Arte.
