If you are a fan of\u00a0art just like the team at ShMadrid<\/strong><\/a>, there is one\u00a0museum\u00a0which you absolutely must visit, and that is\u00a0the\u00a0Thyssen-Bornemisza<\/strong>. Founded in the year of 1992, the\u00a0museum showcases the\u00a0art collection that began with\u00a0Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza, a baron that lived between 1875 and 1928.<\/p>\n

The museum was is housed at Palacio de Villahermosa<\/strong>, an 18th-century building that was renovated in a neoclassical style by the architect Antonio L\u00f3pez Aguado. But before becoming a museum, the palace was considered one of the most prestigious mansions in the city, having been the home of the Duque of Angulema, later becoming the headquarters of Banca L\u00f3pez Quesada, with another renovation work that got rid of all of the beautiful halls, which were replaced with offices.<\/p>\n

The palace started being used as a museum<\/strong><\/a> when it Lopez Quesada went bankrupt and the building ended up in the hands of the state, being beautifully renovated, becoming what it is today.<\/p>\n
