I'm enjoying my time in the museum of Real Academia de Bellas Artes. Different artworks from classical up to modern. Masterpieces, beautiful paintings, unforgettable sculptures, building and city projects and more more more. 3 floors, please note that without elevator. 8 EUR entrance fee. Highly recommended.

This museum is not very well known but it's trully amazing. You can admire paintings from Rubens, Rivera, Goya, up to Sorolla, Sotomayor, Chillida or Tapies. Some of these great artists actually studied in this Academy. Really worth a visit!

This is like the Prado's quiet cousin, but it's almost as good. It attracts few visitors and on the Sunday I went it was like having a private viewing. There's lots of superb paintings and on the top floor it moves to a more modern flavour rather than images of religion, battles and the rich and famous.

The Royal Academy of Fine Arts near Puerto del Sol is a much overlooked art museum where you can view a large number of masterpieces by the same artists which fill the gallery rooms of Madrid's world famous museums, Prado and Thyssen. Opening hours are 10-3pm (Tues - Sun) but closed on Mondays. First and foremost this is an art academy which has seen the likes of Goya, Dali and Picasso spend time during centuries past. Yet it is also a very good museum, boasting a fine collection of masterpieces which mainly focus on 15th to 20 century works. You can see paintings by Spanish and European Old Masters such as Bellini, Arcimboldo, Raphael, Titian, Reni, Rubens, Van Dyck, Picasso, Dali, El Greco, Ribera and Velazquez amongst many others. A major difference in visiting the Royal Academy of Fine Art is that far fewer visitors pass through its doors compared to the likes of Prado and Thyssen Museums, which receive many thousands of visitors daily. Here you are just as likely to have an entire gallery room to yourself, meaning more relaxed and peaceful visits and art viewing conditions. Photography is allowed with the museum as well. Highlights that I most enjoyed seeing during a recent visit include the delightful Spring (1563) by Guisepi Arcimboldo as well as Ribera's excellent painting of St. Jerome (1652), which rivals his many other masterpieces of this subject matter. Many more impressive works are on display, including sculptures of a classical up to contemporary styles. In the end, Real Academia de Bellas Artes is a very good art museum in Madrid. However, I would still recommend visits to Prado first for all fans of art. Thyssen is the second best choice for those with more interest in fine art. Next would be Real Academia de Bellas Artes, a place which will be appealing to art connoisseurs and/or anyone who has spent enough time at Prado and Thyssen during past visits. This is a very good third option for viewing historic masterpieces in Madrid.

Very nice museum with some unique paintings I've never seen before. They are open at 10am unlike Google says. There is coat check. Entry fee is reasonable for the quality of artwork displayed. Staff is very nice. Highly recommend.

Nice museum in the centre of Madrid! The museum is small but nice and cozy. It has nice interactive features such as sculptures, artwork, models, clay, etc. The museum is quite unknown, and so are the artworks. In fact, most of the artworks are Prado/Thyssen Boremniza/Palacio Real dropouts. The art is nice, but some lack talent and are way to easy to draw. The sculptures however were really nice and wonderful pieces. The price is 8 per person (Except Wednesdays when its free), and to be honest for what you are getting it is quite high. My experience was overall OK, but it could have been improved.
