Hablemos de ciencia: Art and Science Guided Tours at the Thyssen

Can a work of art unlock the secrets of the cosmos or explain the mathematics of disorder? The dialogue between two seemingly distant disciplines comes alive inside the gallery halls. 🌌🔬

The Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza presents Hablemos de ciencia, a special programme of guided tours designed to bridge the gap between scientific inquiry and artistic creation through its collection.

🎨 Hablemos de ciencia: visitas guiadas entre arte y ciencia

📅 13 November, 20 November, 11 December, and 18 December 2026

🕐 16:30 (duration: approximately 60 minutes)

📍 Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza · Paseo del Prado, 8

🎟️ €9 supplement on top of the museum admission ticket

📖 Thematic tours between the cosmos and chaos

The programme includes two distinct itineraries. On Friday 13 and 20 November, Los susurros del Big Bang (un paseo por el Thyssen y el origen del universo) explores modern scientific views on the universe's origin through 20th-century artworks.

On Friday 11 and 18 December, La belleza del caos invites visitors to explore masterpieces from the permanent collection to discover chaos through sensitivity rather than mere disorder.

🏛️ The museum as a shared space of knowledge

The initiative revisits the ancient concept of the museion, a sanctuary dedicated to the muses where poets and scholars worked side by side. It champions shared inspiration to better understand our world and face contemporary challenges.

ℹ️ Good to know: Suitable for participants aged 12 and over. Advance booking is required online or by telephone (+34 917 911 370, 10:00 to 20:00). Places are subject to tour capacity limits.

✨ A unique chance to look at great pictorial masterpieces through the eyes of science.
