Overview

The Carmen Thyssen Museum houses an art collection focused on 19th-century Spanish painting, drawn from Carmen Cervera's holdings. The galleries emphasize Andalusian art, including romantic landscapes and depictions of traditional southern Spanish life. It serves as a practical stop for travellers looking to study the development of regional Spanish painting.
