A real gem - An essential visit to this palace where you will find authentic treasures. From paintings by Goya such as El Aquelarre, to works by El Hieronymus or El Greco. Also an impressive collection of valuable objects: liturgical chalices and patens, bronzes, enamels, medals, coins, ancient jewelry, etc. a legacy of incalculable value. Totally recommended.

Little-known treasure of Madrid - The Lázaro Galdiano Museum is a little-known gem of Madrid. Collection of more than 12,000 pieces, including works by El Greco, Federico Madrazo, Goya, Hieronymus Bosch, Zurbarán, stamps, tiles, fabrics, silver, weapons,... The building is beautiful and its interior incredible. Teachers enter FREE

unique and surprising pieces - One of the best private museums in Europe, it leaves no one indifferent in any of its collections, both in the pieces on display and in the building that houses them.

RECOMMENDABLE - Beautiful building surrounded by beautiful gardens, the interior surprised us as it preserves a large collection of works of art, tableware, coins and even ancient weapons. I recommend the visit.

A unique collection, beautifully arranged - This museum captures the taste, refinement and culture of a 19th/20th century European intellectual. The on-line ticketing and slotted times are convenient and help to avoid crowds.

Very cool private collection - Very covered, everything that can be stowed is here. Many great masterpieces in between. The strangest thing is probably the ceiling in one of the living rooms, where he has had many of the very large works painted in a collection.

Strong contender for Madrid’s Rectangle of Art - Another must visit museum when visiting Madrid is this lessor known compact museum that’s very slightly off the beaten-track. It packs so much over 4 floors of a building that of itself is stunning in every respect – the artwork on the ceilings is amazing and could easily be missed. Unlike the main 3 museums in Madrid, this museum is much more peaceful and so makes viewing a very enjoyable experience. Also, the variety of exhibits probably sets this museum apart – check out the ‘Small Portraits’ collection; the ‘Jewellery/Valuables’ collection, etc. I spent about 3 hours here, and know that I’ll happily return in the near future.

The house is beautiful and the collection of paintings, historical objects and coins is spectacular. - A very interesting and unknown museum from a private collection. Suitable for people with disabilities.

So much art to see. Allow at least 3 hours. - We came quite late in the day so had barely 2 hours which is not enough to see all the treasures across 4 floors of the very beautiful mansion. There is so much to see it is a little mind blowing. The building itself is also amazing especially the painted ceilings in many of the rooms.

Poor visitor management - Taking advantage of a trip to Madrid, I wanted to take a guided tour with a group of friends. A few days before we called by phone to find out if we had to reserve, since the information on the website was contradictory. They told us that we didn't need to reserve, that being there on time (11 a.m. on a Saturday) was enough. When we showed up at the indicated time, they told us that the visit was complete since all the places had been reserved online. Our disappointment was huge. When we filed a complaint with the department of education we received an insufficient and somewhat arrogant response.
