Many of our artists at ArtHaus66 Contemporary Gallery work in the capital city of Madrid, Spain. Some are originally from the area and others have made it their home later in life.

Besides being the natural habitat of many artists, art galleries and museums also abound in Madrid.This fascinating city offers a fine selection of art galleries that has long been the envy of other cultural centres in Europe. Every day, the galleries draw crowds of tourists and art lovers with famous works by famous artists such as El Greco, Velazquez, Goya, Picasso, Miro and Salvador Dali.

Of all art galleries in Madrid, the Museo del Prado stands out as the one with the greatest concentration of masterpieces. This is by far one of the most renowned art museums in the world and Madrid’s primary tourist attraction. The Prado and two other splendind museums, Thyssen Museum and Reina Sofia Museum, are located within a few minutes walk from each other on Paseo del Prado, forming the so-called Art Walk. Apart from these prestigious instutitions, there are plenty of smaller, more intimate contemporary art galleries to be found in many different areas of the city.
