Conde Duque

Frommer's Review

A remarkable conversion from 18th-century barracks to one of Madrid's most evocative cultural centers, the Conde Duque is peacefully situated a short walk away from the Plaza España. Two galleries give permanent exhibitions, one located in a basement, the other in the main building, and two vast patios are used for open-air sculpture exhibitions. This is also home of the Museo Municipal de Arte Contemporáneo, which reopened in 2004 after 3 years of substantial renovation work. Bosch and Goya paintings feature among the collection, which was donated by financial magnate José Lazaro Galdiano. Other attractions include a video library and concert venue.
