Good but a lot...

Good but a lot of information that had to be entered in a short time. The guide had to go fast, too fast.

Visit to Thyssen

I am not a fan of current art, I wanted to see the Thyssen to see the great collection of Italian paintings from the 16th century, but David made modern and abstract artists interested me. I recommend it!
