Amazing Moorish and Visigoth exhibits. There are reproductions of the famous Altamira cave paintings in a specially constructed grotto outside.

The museum is also right by the Jardines de Descubrimiento with impressive modern fountains and sculptures celebrating Colombus' discovery of the new world.

Many of Madrid’s club elite were in attendance, including many club owners and promoters, which may indicate that change is coming on the scene. Victory Over the Sun is based in Dublin and will not return to Madrid until November 06. I believe that it will trigger a sea change in Madrid’s nightlife that will bring it into the 21st century.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7236 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2988 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2988 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1238 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1238 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/146 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/146
