A hospital-turned-museum in Madrid, it is one of the largest sites of contemporary art.

The museum underwent a transformation in 2005 and now boasts more modern architecture and decor.

The architecture depicts the museum's desire to combine the past and present in the same place.

The museum's architecture is in itself reason enough to visit.

The museum has undergone several restructurings. Architect Jean Nouvel designed the plans for the museum's extension, giving it its air of modernity.

Built in 1990 by English architect Ian Ritchie, these glass lifts have given the museum's façade a new look.
