Your exclusive art journey begins with private pickup from your accommodation in Madrid. As the city slowly awakens, you'll be driven to the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza—before it opens to the public. Over the course of one hour, you’ll move through a handpicked route that spans centuries of European painting—from gilded devotional panels to luminous landscapes, striking portraits, and bold modern works. Along the way, your host—a professional art dealer and cultural storyteller—will share the hidden meanings, personal stories, and historical context behind the artworks, weaving a rich narrative that goes far beyond names and dates. You’ll stand face to face with works by Van Eyck, Monet, Van Gogh, Hopper, and Picasso—without the distraction of crowds. Each stop includes stories that reveal hidden meanings, historical context, and the emotional power of the artwork. As the museum begins to open to other visitors, your private tour concludes and your driver will be waiting to take you back—or optionally, continue to a nearby café terrace for a Spanish breakfast to reflect on your experience.
