To the right of the western section of the Gran Vía, one street away, is the Parque Doña Casilda de Iturizza (named after a benefactress of the city), at the northeast end of which are the two buildings of the Museum of Art, with a collection of outstanding quality.
The older building displays work by many great European masters. Dutch and Flemish painting of the 15th-17th centuries is well represented, with such masterpieces as Quentin Matsys' ''Money- Changers'' and Dirk Bouts' ''Virgin and Child'' and works by van Dyck and Vos of the 17th Century Flemish school.
