Museo del Traje

Fodor's Review:

This museum traces the evolution of dress in Spain, from the old burial garments worn by kings and nobles (very few pieces of which have withstood the erosion of time) and the introduction of French fashion by Phillip V, to the 20th-century creations of couturiers such as Balenciaga and Pertegaz. The 18th century claims the largest number of pieces. Explanatory notes are in English and the museum has a superb restaurant. To get here, from Moncloa take Bus 46 or walk along the northeastern edge of Parque del Oeste.

  • Cost: EUR 3, free Sat. after 2:30 and Sun.
  • Open: Tues.-Sat. 9:30-7, Sun. 10-3
