  The museum has a very impressive collection of romantic paintings. You can see many portraits on the monarchy at that time and also the common people's life in Spain and Madrid, which I found even more interesting.
  
  This place also had a huge collection of everyday objects of that time, of course only from the upper class, very nice and quite interesting. Such as children toys, coutlery, latest, lots of furniture... Including a bidet/toilet from Fernando VII.
  
  We didn't have the chance, but apparently they have a very nice café bar in a indoor garden inside the palace. Try to find it!

  Beautiful museum with paintings and objects from the era in the various restored rooms of this “typical” 18th-century villa. The garden is a lovely garden place for a romantic glass of wine or tea and cakes.
  
  it also has wonderful temporary contemporary installations like Juan Millás’ “A grove of trees from a point of view” (until January 2018).

  I totally recommend you to visit it :) it's not the most typical museum, so it's perfect if you want to do something different but cultural at the same time. It's very very cheap, even free for students younger than 25. And it's very well located, in the heart of one of the most popular neighbourhoods in Madrid.

  Neat little museum, but the staff at the front desk/tickets/information don't speak any English and were incredibly rude to me. Yes, I realize it's not an English speaking country but if you're going to work at a tourist attraction, you should have a passing knowledge of a few different languages because guess what? You're going to have to interact with tourists from other countries. I am a pretty seasoned traveler and I have NEVER encountered anything like the behavior from these people, all over a misunderstanding about one euro. Enter at your own risk or skip altogether and visit "The Big Three" (Prado, Thyssen, Reina Sofia) or the Royal Palace where you will be treated as a welcome guest and not subjected to an employee shouting at you in Spanish, stomping, and flailing her arms around making a spectacle of herself in front of other visitors because I don't have one euro to lock up my very small bag - which no other museum in any other part of Madrid or the world has ever insisted I lock up before. In contrast, the employees actually inside the exhibit were extremely pleasant and helpful.

  The staff was really rude and they don't speak english. We felt a bit unwelcome here, but exhibition was nice.

  Worth checking out for the garden café alone. Quiet escape from the bustling city streets. Go early to get a bench around the fountain, or a table under tree cover. Free entry to the shop and garden café, admission to the museum was €3.
