Essential places of Madrid: the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum

Within the so-called 'Art Triangle' of Madrid, which is not coincidentally located on that Avenue of Great Dreams, which in my humble opinion, is the Paseo del Prado, the former Villahermosa Palace, which was converted in 1992 into the Thyssen-Museum. Bornemisza, is like a metaphorical mermaid stranded on land, whose outstanding song invites a virtual nekya, where by Ulysses we consider ourselves, far from our spirit to reflect a melancholic sigh, wishing that our odyssey trip ends, to return to that Ithaca where the banal and the everyday put us against the wall, placing us back in the wall of boredom.

And it can really be said, without fearing the orcs of fantasy, that a visit to the Thyssen Museum is like plunging into the unpredictable twists and turns of history, without another time machine, other than the inertia that our own feet provide us, every time we leave a century behind us and cross from one room to another.

Of course, within the varied wealth of works, which make up that succulent artistic delicacy, where the view is willingly deceived by 'that lie that helps us to understand the truth' - as he affirmed emphatically, that trickster friend of Mephistopheles, who was the brilliant Pablo Picasso, referring to the Art- there are icons, extraordinary pieces, which for some reason in particular act as a gunpowder, whose bullets -who knows, emulating the famous arrows of Cupid- open the locks of that also metaphorical Box of Pandora, releasing some archetypes, whose magnetism attracts the attention of the general public, with such intensity that they seem covered by a supernatural spell, to the detriment of other works, perhaps more refined, stylistic and no less relevant. But together, both make up a real treasure, whose search I encourage you to discover.

You are invited, then, and without further ado, to what I hope will be a brief but pleasant adventure, which will allow you - even for a few moments - to free yourself from the heavy turtle shell of boredom, to light a candle of hope for yourself. of that sleeping maiden, who is a very special Muse, named Imagination.
