Create an itinerary including Museo Lazaro Galdiano
Inspire your visual senses at Museo Lazaro Galdiano, which houses popular works by José Lázaro Galdiano. You’ll also find pieces by other artists, such as El Greco and Joshua Reynolds. The museum was once the residence of Galdiano and his wife, and the structure and interior remain largely unaltered. It’s easy to imagine yourself in 1903, when the home was built. In addition to artwork, there’s also a large collection of jewels once owned by the lady of the house. This museum is off the beaten path and rarely busy, so expect a relaxing and peaceful experience. To visit Museo Lazaro Galdiano and other attractions in Madrid, use our Madrid route builder tool.

  • Nice museum spread over 4 floors (there is an elevator by the way). It took us a little big over 1.5 h to see the exhibitions (paintings, jewelery collections, ceiling paintings, antique household items, modern art pieces). A full price ticket if you are not eligible to any discount costs €7. It seems to me that the entrance is free the last hour before end of business. A couple of famous paintings (at least 1 of Goya's) are on loan until the end of January 2022 so you won't be able to see them.
  • 7€ entry for adults. Very good museum, a wonderful collection of paintings, jewellery, armour, tapestry, brass and more. Also, there is an adorable ginger cat that sits outside and welcomes the visitors.
  • Intimate museum in the collector’s home. You can get up close with pieces by Goya and Bosch without the crowds. Hidden gem in Madrid.
  • The collection is perfect for the private museum. The building is an object of art itself. The painting on ceilings are amazing. The decoration of every room is wonderful.
  • Apart from not having any audio guide available either hardcopy at the Museum or online as many other museums provide this place is a jewel in the hidden crown of Madrid I arrived just one hour before closing, but I shall return for another bite of his beautiful Cherry
