About

With over 1,600 paintings the Thyssen-Bornemisza collection was once the second largest private collection in the world after the British  Royal Collection .   A competition was held to house the museum in 1987-88 after Baron Thyssen, having tried to enlarge his Museum in  Villa Favorita , searched for a location in Europe .  . The Thyssen-Bornemisza fills the historical gaps in its counterparts' collections: in the Prado's case this includes Italian primitives and works from the  English ,  Dutch  and German schools, while in the case of the Reina Sofia it concerns  Impressionists ,  Expressionists , and European and American paintings from the second half of the 20th century.
