 Inside the museum by SirRichard This brand new museum (opened just 1 year ago) offers a collection of contemporary spanish art, authors of the 2nd half of the 20th century, like Arroyo, Gordillo, OukaLele, Saura... plus a temporary exhibition on graphic art. It is located in the Cuartel del Conde Duque (c/ Conde Duque, 9), near Plaza de España, and you can enter by the main gate, in front of the little square "Guardias de Corps".

 Self-portrait at the museum (please, bear with me) by agarcia One of the most innovative museums of Madrid could be found in the impressive building that once formed the military quarters of Conde Duque; quite a neat usage of military resources, if you ask me. The admission is completely free, and the carefully choose cultural selection makes it an indispensable visit, imho. Besides, Conde Duque area is quickly becoming one of the most interesting in Madrid, less touristy that La Latina or Huertas, but offering some of the best bars and restaurants of the city.

 Visitiation of St Francis of Asisi by Murillo by Paul2001 I would not list the Real Academia de Bellas Artes des San Fernando has a must see in your tour of Madrid but it is worth a quick visit. The museum is for the most part devoted to the works by Spanish artist. Goya, Riberia and Zurbaran. There are two rooms in which foriegn artists like Rubens are represented. Overall the works are sort of hit or miss. There really are not that many strong pieces here but as I said there are enough to make a visit worth while. If you are in Madrid for just a short stay then it probably could be missed without a serious loss. The musuem is c/Alcala 13 northeast of the Puerta del Sol. The museum was just a short walk from my hotel which was one of the reasons why I dropped in on it. Leave a Comment Phone: +34 91 524 08 64

Weird location for a museum, that's for sure!! Under a busy bridge I was confused to find this open air museum. In fact, under the bridge you can see some sculptures (some good, some boring) of artists like A.Alfaro, J.Maria Subirachs, Am.Gabino etc. There is no entrance fee of course but it’s nice to visit if it happens to walk this part of Madrid (I was on my way to Sorolla museum) address:Paseo de la Castellana, Take metro to Ruben Dario station or buses 14, 27, 40

 Museo Sorolla patio by agarcia Joaquín Sorolla (1863-1923) captured inside his paintings all the light of the Mediterranean Sea as no other artist after or before him. While contemplating his coastal scenes, is impossible not to feel lost inside its radiant turquoise blues. During his latter days, this Valencia born painter moved to Madrid, where he built the beautiful house that nowadays holds the mayor collection of his artistic works. Apart from the excellent paintings, the whole house has a clear Mediterranean charm. Admission cost 2,4 €. Leave a Comment

 Cannon, Army Museum by Paul2001 Believe it or not this was the first museum I visited in Madrid. This fine museum is dedicated to Spain's military heritage throught out the ages. It has a very good collection armor, weaponry and maps. Some people may find its political leaning to the right somewhat offensive. There are some exhibits that are quite proud of Spain's Fascist past. Leave a Comment Phone: 91/522-89-77

 Templo de Debod by andal13 You can visit an Egyptian temple if you are in Cairo, of course... but in Madrid? The Temple of Debod (4th century BC) is a gift that Egypt gave to Spain. It can be visited and one of the best sights of Madrid can be seen from this place. Puedes visitar un templo egipcio cuando estás en El Cairo, claro.. ¿pero en Madrid? El Templo de Debod (siglo IV AC) es un presente que Egipto le hizo a España. Puede ser visitado y una de las mejores vistas de Madrid se pueden ver desde este lugar. Leave a Comment

 The museum's facade by SirRichard This is a rather unknown museum. It's not in my Top10 list, but is nice if you are interested in natural history. It's got a lot of dissected animals, as well as temporary exhibitions. c/ Jose Gutierrez Abascal, 2. Metro: Gregorio Marañón. Entrance 3 euros. Leave a Comment Phone: 91 411 13 28

 Chillida at the left by SirRichard In the Castellana avenue, under the bridge of the street Juan Bravo you can find this little collection of sculpture, mostly from spanish 60's artists (Chillida...). A good option to visit on sunday afternoons, when all other museums are closed. Metro Ruben Dario Leave a Comment
