Carmen Thyssen Museum

Carmen Thyssen Museum

Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza, one of the world’s foremost art collectors, now has her own eponymous museum in Malaga, which opened in March 2011. The paintings are from her personal collection, amassed over the past 30 years.

The permanent collection consists of 230 works, mainly by 19th-century Spanish artists, with most of the subject matter being, unsurprisingly, Andalucia: Cordoba, Malaga, Sevilla. The most famous painters whose works feature in this collection are Zurbaran, Sorolla, Zuloaga, and Romero Torres.

• The permanent collection is divided into four sections:
  
  Paisaje Romantic Landscape and Costumbrism
  Preciocism and Naturalistic Landscape
  End of Century
  Old Masters
