One should also not forget Madrids wonderful art galleries and museums. The most famous is Museo del Prado which hosts one of the finest collections of European art from the 12th Century to the 19th Century in the world and is located in Paseo del Prado. However there is also the modern art museum Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (where you can see Picassos Guernica) and Museo Thyssen Bornemisza housed in the renovated Villahermosa Palace near to the Prado Museum. These three have collectively become known as The Golden Triangle of Art.
