LateRooms.com - Enjoy the Finer Things at Madrid's Summer Nights at the Museum

    MADRID, SPAIN, July 31, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Art enthusiasts with a passion for food may be interested in Summer Nights at the Museum in Madrid, which combines both these endeavours.

Running until September 11th, it sees the Museo Thyssen celebrating the temporary exhibition Ghirlandaio and the Renaissance in Florence by opening the venue later and serving food at the art space.

The organisers explained that the caterers have been looking after the food and drink available in the museum since the beginning of the year and have used turned the terrace area into a gastro-bar.

"Once again this year, the Museo Thyssen will be taking advantage of the summer nights with an irresistible combination of art and gastronomy," they added.

Guests at Madrid hotels could opt to come to the eatery for a full meal or simply a few cocktails, although it may be worth booking ahead if it is likely to be a busy night.

From Tuesday to Saturday every week, the exhibition will be open until 23:00 local time, with access to the gastro-bar for food and drink, which does not shut until 01:00 each morning.

There is no entrance fee for getting into the bar, but people will still need to pay the conventional museum cost, which is EUR7 (GBP5.85).

Another exhibition that will soon be showing at the art space is Mario Testino - Todo o Nada.

For more information on this event visit the Museo Thyssen website or contact the venue on (+34) 91 429 39 84.
