Carmen Thyssen Museum

The Carmen Thyssen Museum is an art museum in the Spanish city Málaga. The main focus of the museum is 19th-century Spanish painting, predominantly Andalusian, based on the collection of Carmen Cervera, fifth wife of Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza.Since 1992 the Thyssen family's art collection has been on display at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid.However, Carmen Thyssen has been an art collector in her own right since the 1980s, and her personal collection is shown separately.In 1999, she agreed to display many items from her collection in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum for a period of twelve years. Meanwhile, a home for her collection was sought in Málaga. This museum, a conversion of a sixteenth-century building, opened to the public on 24 March 2011.
