ON LOCATION AT MUSEO LAZARO GALDIANO
Museo Lázaro Galdiano is often overshadowed by the Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen, but it remains one of the best art museums in Madrid. It is the former home of the late Spanish financier (and a foremost patron of culture in 19th century Spain) Jose Lázaro Galdiano. The museum houses an impressive collection of old masters and romantic period painters like Goya, El Greco, and Velazquez, among others. The Neo-Renaissance architecture and location on the prestigious Calle de Serrano make it all the more worthy of a visit. museolazarogaldiano.es
