The Museo Lázaro Galdiano, a former private collection given to the state by José Galdiano in 1948, spreads over the four floors and 37 rooms of his former home. A vast jumble of art works, it has some very dodgy attributions, but includes some really exquisite and valuable pieces. Among painters represented are El Greco, Bosch, Gerard David, Dürer and Rembrandt, as well as a host of Spanish artists, including Berruguete, Murillo, Zurbarán, Velázquez and Goya. Other exhibits include clocks and watches, many of them once owned by Carlos V.
