Carmen Thyssen Museum of Andorra, Art museum in Escaldes-Engordany, Andorra.
The Carmen Thyssen Museum of Andorra occupies the ground floor of the former Hotel Valira at Avinguda Carlemany 37 in Escaldes-Engordany. The 1933 building, designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch for Benedictine monks of Montserrat, is a granite structure protected since 2004. The museum covers 500 m², with 250 m² of galleries holding temporary exhibitions from the Thyssen-Bornemisza collection.
The museum opened on 16 March 2017 in the ground floor of the former Hotel Valira, built from 1929 to 1933 to plans by architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch for Benedictine monks of Montserrat. The building passed to the Reig family in 1943, was listed in 2004, and was converted into flats from 2014, with exhibition rooms fitted with security and climate-control systems. Its first show, Escenaris, ran until 14 January 2018 with 26 paintings.
The collection features paintings by Spanish and European artists from the 1800s and 1900s that change periodically throughout the year. These works reflect a private collector's taste for both traditional academic styles and emerging modern approaches to art.
