Hi!!!It is an interenting place, I like it. Last year I went to visit it four times and I saw the permanent colection. I like the painting of the renaissance, baroque, romanticism and realism, though these last two periods are not in the museum. " The executions of May 3 " by Goya is a very impressive work. The museum is an indispensable visit if one travels to Madrid.
Bye bye Lara.
