Fodor's Review:

Founded in 1929 on what was formerly a hospice from the 17th century, this museum displays paintings, drawings, pictures, ceramics, furniture, and other objects explaining Madrid history. There is a good exhibition on Madrid that will be best enjoyed by those who speak Spanish and who already know a bit about the city's history, but the ornamented facade—a baroque jewel by Pedro de Ribera—and the painstakingly precise, nearly 18-foot model of Madrid, a project coordinated by León Gil de Palacio in 1830, are two exhibits almost everyone can enjoy.
