Private Walk of Art: Prado, Reina Sofia & Thyssen

About this experience

The Private Walk of Art combining the Prado, Reina Sofía, and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums is the most comprehensive and ambitious single-day art experience available in Madrid — a complete private survey of the world's finest concentration of European art history within a single city, experienced with a dedicated expert Amigo Tours guide for your group alone. The three museums of the Paseo del Arte together constitute a survey of Western art from the medieval period to the contemporary era that is unmatched in its completeness and quality by any comparable grouping of art institutions anywhere in the world — the Prado's old masters, the Thyssen's encyclopaedic private collection, and the Reina Sofía's modern and contemporary holdings together covering the full scope of European artistic achievement across seven centuries.

The private format with expert guide allows the day's art historical journey to be tailored entirely to your group's specific interests — whether prioritising the Spanish golden age masters of the Prado, the Impressionist and Expressionist holdings of the Thyssen, the revolutionary modernism of the Reina Sofía's Picasso and Dalí, or a carefully balanced survey of all three collections. The guide's expertise across all three institutions ensures that the experience delivers genuine art historical depth and lasting intellectual enrichment rather than a surface-level overview.
