The Museum of Romanticism, a house-museum that was founded in 1924 by the Marqués de la Vega-Inclán, is installed in a palace from the end of the 18th century. The Museum’s permanent exhibition offers visitors a wide-ranging view of what Romanticism meant in Spain, on a tour that combines artistic and cultural aspects with a look at the ways of life and customs of the 19th century in re-creations of different settings. The Museum also features a varied programme of cultural activities for people of all ages. The Museum of Romanticism is located in the central district of Madrid between Chueca and Malasaña, near Plaza de Colón and the Gran Vía. It lies quite near the Fuencarral shopping line, where an extensive leisure offering is available.
