Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas

DesignArtHistoryOpen until 3pmFrom €3Banco de España (Metro L2)

Instalado desde 1932 num antigo palácio da Calle Montalbán, o Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas apresenta a evolução das artes decorativas europeias e asiáticas do século XVI ao XX, distribuída por cerca de 60 salas em cinco pisos. A sua principal atração é uma cozinha valenciana do século XVIII, inteiramente reconstruída e revestida com mais de 1 500 azulejos pintados à mão. O percurso inclui ainda salas de época que recriam a vida doméstica da aristocracia, além de mobiliário, cerâmica, vidro, têxteis e uma importante coleção de artes decorativas chinesas e japonesas. Fundado em 1912 como Museu Nacional de Artes Industriais, continua a ser uma das instituições menos conhecidas do Triângulo de Ouro de Madrid, a poucos passos do Prado e dos jardins do Retiro.
