The 10 Best Museums in Justicia, Community of Madrid
So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

This museum is set in a house built in 1776 and is decorated and contains a huge collection of paintings and furniture from the Romantic period which occurred in the middle of the 19th century. You can walk around quite freely an be immersed in the period. There are lots of security personnel watching you however. There is a lot to take in so allow 2 hours. There is an English guide which is very worthwhile and many of the artefacts have an English translation if you can read the tiny font. The temporary exhibition covers the changing fashion in hairstyles. There is a very pleasant cafe too. Entrance is a bargain 3 Euros but it is free on Saturday afternoon and all day on Sunday.

A very well done museum about the history of telecommunication from its exception right through to the present day, an amazing array of different phones, cables and any associated phone equipment even a switchboard from the 50's that you can use. there are toilets and a small cafe there is a lift up to the Museum so it is wheelchair friendly and all on one level. There was a separate exhibition on the next level on Photographer William Klein which is also well worth a visit.

We love city museums and Madrid's is right up there. Less than half a mile north of Gran Vía, housed in a beautiful building. Four floors of its history with interesting items, paintings, china. We thought this museum much superior to the decorative arts one. Free admission. English descriptions throughout. An elevator. Really nice staff too. Lockers for one Euro which is refundable. Bring a coon.

On the 14th of February 1972 the Madrid Wax Museum opened its doors. Located on the Paseo de Recoletos, it is at the start of what is known as the "golden mile" of Madrid Museums. 2,000 square metres split over two floors; it has over forty rooms in which the visitor can travel through time. Thanks to the combination of spaces, environments, lights and sounds, each person who is represented takes on a special dimension in time, which allows the visitor to stand before the character who has been recreated in the environment in which they lived... Permanently being updated, it is a Museum which contains representations of the most prominent figures today: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Mariano Rajoy, Andrés Iniesta, Penélope Cruz, Antonio Banderas, David Villa, Barack Obama, Rafa Nadal, Mario Vargas Llosa, Iker Casillas, Miley Cyrus and Sponge Bob, have been added to an exhibition in which, among hundreds of figures, you can see El Cid, Camilo José Cela, the Catholic Monarchs, Fernando Torres, Yasser Arafat, Antonio Gala and David Bisbal…, most of the contemporary characters have personally inaugurated their sculptures, which wear clothes from their personal wardrobes, for example Montserrat Caballé, Rafael Alberti, Zinedine Zidane, Antonio Gala, Lola Flores and Miguel Induraín, Joaquín Rodrigo, Severo Ochoa, Mario Vargas Llosa, Rafa Nadal, Joaquín Cortés, Iker Casillas and King Juan Carlos I. The spectacular sets, made by the best artists, are home to the figures and, combined with the Museum’s other attractions like the “Terror Train”, “Simulator” and “Multivision”, they help ensure that our visitors enjoy hours of fun and discovery. And if that’s the case, we’ve achieved our goal.
