Fascinating
The building it is housed in is impressive. There was a temporary Botero exhibition too. I wasn’t aware of this artist but quite liked some of the works. On the first floor there is art preceding Goya. I liked some of this. The next level was a mixture of Goya paintings and the engravings. I really liked the engravings. They had a description in English lit up every time you stepped in front of one. There were so many interesting engravings. This was my favourite part of the museum. I did like the paintings too and not just the Goya ones. I wasn’t sure whether to bother with the 3rd floor as I’m not normally into “artists inspired by” but I’m so glad I did. This part had some beautiful art works. I went through parts of this twice. Reasonably priced, there wasn’t a queue when I went in and it’s a great gallery to wander around. I spent about 2 hours there.

Beautifully curated museum
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this wonderful museum. The Fernando Botero temporary exhibition (on until February) was a bonus. The Goya paintings are plentiful but his works are set in context showing how he was influenced by his forebears as well as how he influenced more recent Spanish artists.

Interesting but go for the engravings, not the paintings
I didn't know anything about Goya going into this but I enjoyed learning more. That said, I didn't learn much more about his paintings, which is a shame cause that's what he's famous for. There were hardly any of his paintings here, with one floor devoted to what came before him and one floor to what came after. However, the room showing his political-cartoon-esque engravings was really cool and had an enormous amount of his works, so I enjoyed that a lot. I think if I had known that there wouldn't be many of his paintings going into this I would've been less disappointed, but I just couldn't quite get the connection between his inspirations, his own art, and the artists who followed. Maybe more commentary would've helped with that, or maybe I would've understood if I'd already known more about him.
