Pop Web site in new window   Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum
The Thyssen-Bronemisza family left a two-museum legacy. The Madrid collection boasts over 800 pieces, while the more intimate Barcelona branch houses 80 objects. Get general info, tour times and activity schedules. Next, test yourself by saying the name three times fast.
 
Pop Web site in new window   Virtual Library: Spain
No need to brave the rain in Spain. The cultural terrain is accessible right from your La-Z-Boy with this alphabetical list of online museums. Link out to the gallery of your choice for a gander at the Spanish aesthetic.
 
Pop Web site in new window   Prado Museum
Is it gauche to wear Prada at the Prado? Heck, you can tour the exhibits in your bathrobe! Search the collection by keyword, or send a virtual postcard back home. Nothing says ‘wish you were’ here like an El Greco.
 
Pop Web site in new window   Barcelona: Museums
This extensive list of museums includes the basics (the Prado, Picasso) but also the oft-overlooked: a Footwear museum and infamous perfume gallery. Put in your search information (location, name, public/private). Contact info and maps are but a click away--but unfortunately, some are in Spanish.
 
Pop Web site in new window   Guggenheim Museum: Bilbao
Hate it or love it, architect Frank Gehry's glimmering gash on the Bilbao cityscape brings panache and excitement to this previously grey industrial Basque city. Too bad the Web site resembles the museum's collection: thin, perfunctory content; another Guggenheim storefront disguised as culture. Style trumps substance...once again. But still a lot of fun.
 
Pop Web site in new window   Tu Spain’s Museums of Spain
A simple, city-by-city chart of more than 200 art museums located throughout Spain. Click for contact information, permanent collections and current exhibits. El problema? It’s all in Español.
