Le Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza abrite l'une des plus remarquables collections d'art privées au monde, réunie par la famille Thyssen-Bornemisza et acquise par l'État espagnol en 1993. Des primitifs italiens aux avant-gardes du XXe siècle, elle vient parachever le « Triangle d'or de l'art » madrilène aux côtés du Prado et du Reina Sofia. L'institution a pris ses quartiers dans le Palacio de Villahermosa, édifice du XVIIIe siècle bordant le Paseo del Prado, réaménagé par l'architecte Rafael Moneo pour son ouverture en 1992.
