Two stars... three stars... hard decision since I'm not a fan of modern art…read more I just... don't... get... it. Most modern art to me is like a hot drink on a hot day, it just doesn't make sense to me, but to some, it's just what they love. So I'm going with a three since I know I'm rating it lower due to my own preferences. I found the displays to be limited in selection and it really didn't take long to get through the whole museum. Granted, for the whopping TWO euro entrance fee, it's pretty good. If I were to estimate, I'd say there are about 5-8 exhibitions at any time. So there's something in there worth seeing. There were a few pieces in there where you could definitely see the inspiration or the time period (pieces that reflected influences from Picasso or Andy Warhol). But... yeah. The museum itself is nice, the building in clean and well maintained and fairly well air conditioned. What did confuse me was that I wasn't allowed to take photos from too close, but I'm allowed to take them from further back or panoramic views (according to security). Ummm... did they not notice my zoom lens? So it really doesn't do much to stop someone from taking a picture, but I just don't get why. Sure I understand the no flash thing or even no photos at all... but panoramic or far off photos only? Overall... I'm not a big fan, but if you're in town and you like modern art, why not?

We went through the exhibit with a guide and fortunately we did. The guide provided context to the exhibits which I found to be quite helpful. I thought it was very interesting and I was glad I got to see it. I did not get to see the other exhibits so I cannot determine the value of the museum overall only this exhibit. If you will have some time in the city go when it is free. It's free on Sunday and in the evening one day of the week I believe.

My mother was visiting the Palacio and has a medical issue in her right foot that she is getting…read moresurgery for very soon. Ten minutes before the end of the visit of the Palacio, my mother couldn't stand the searing pain in her foot and had to take her shoe off before heading down the stairs towards the exit so she could get down and exit the building. As she was heading down the stairs she gets called out by an employee/security guard SCREAMING at her to put her shoe back on at once. My mother does not speak Spanish and asked simply if the woman spoke a little English or French so she could understand what the commotion was about, to which the woman CONTINUED to scream at her, making a huge scene in front of all the other guests in the museum pointing repeatedly at my mother's swollen, injured foot and her shoe. My mother was given no choice but to put her shoe back on immediately in the stairwell, holding herself against a wall in order not to fall. She then limped her way down the stairs, wincing in pain at every step. I am appaled. Appaled that anyone would stop an injured person and DEMAND them to put themselves back in pain for their simple convenience without any consideration. She yelled at her continously during the process like a child and she wouldn't even let my mother get down the stairs and demanded she put herself in a dangerous-to-her situation This incident happened on Saturday the 14th of December around 17h40. The woman yelling at my mother was older, blond and plump. She appeared to be thoroughly enjoying the power abuse. Otherwise the museum was mediocre at best, the furniture was dull and for a touristic attraction in an international city, not a single employee they encountered made an effort to be multilingual. Dissapointed in an understatement, save yourselves the trouble. Mi madre estaba visitando el Palacio y tiene un problema médico en el pie derecho por el que se someterá a una cirugía muy pronto. Diez minutos antes del final de la visita del Palacio, mi madre no pudo soportar el dolor punzante en su pie y tuvo que quitarse el zapato antes de bajar las escaleras hacia la salida para poder bajar y salir del edificio. Mientras bajaba las escaleras, un empleado / guardia de seguridad la llama y le grita que se vuelva a poner el zapato de inmediato. Mi madre no habla español y preguntó simplemente si la mujer hablaba un poco de inglés o francés para poder entender de qué se trataba la conmoción, a lo que la mujer CONTINUÓ gritándole, haciendo una gran escena frente a todos los demás invitados en El museo señala repetidamente el pie hinchado y lesionado de mi madre y su zapato. Mi madre no tuvo más remedio que volver a ponerse el zapato inmediatamente en el hueco de la escalera, sosteniéndose contra una pared para no caerse. Luego bajó cojeando las escaleras, haciendo una mueca de dolor a cada paso. Estoy horrorizado Apareció que cualquiera detendría a una persona lesionada y DEMANDARÍA que volviera a sentir dolor por su simple conveniencia sin ninguna consideración. Le gritaba continuamente durante el proceso como una niña y ni siquiera dejaba que mi madre bajara las escaleras y exigía que se pusiera en una situación peligrosa para su situación. Este incidente ocurrió el sábado 14 de diciembre alrededor de las 17h40. La mujer que le gritaba a mi madre era mayor, rubia y regordeta. Parecía estar disfrutando mucho del abuso de poder. De lo contrario, el museo era mediocre en el mejor de los casos, los muebles eran aburridos y para una atracción turística en una ciudad internacional, ni un solo empleado que encontraron se esforzó por ser multilingüe. Decepcionado en un eufemismo, ahórrense el problema.

Glass and crystal chandeliers. Gorgeous period rooms (carriages on the first floor!) Fabulous paintings- both framed and on the ceilings. Tiles, Vases, Mantel Clocks, Statues, kitchen ware- you name it, you will see it here. If you are familiar with the Decorative Arts Museum and the Romanticismo museum- this is like a combination of those two Madrid museums. It's 5 euros, but free if you have the National Museum Cards for Spain- which can be bought at many of the National Museums of Spain, and which we found to be a good deal, since we love museums. You can take pictures here- but NO flash. We were so happy to be able to take some pictures away to help us remember our experience.
