Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas The Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas (National Museum of Decorative Arts; originally, "National Museum of Industrial Arts") is located at 12 Montalbán Street, in Madrid, Spain, to the south of the Puerta de Alcalá and the western side of the Buen Retiro Park. It is one of the oldest museums in the city, situated within the Golden Triangle of Art. Following the example of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, it illustrates the evolution of industrial or "minor arts", including furniture, ceramics, glass, and textiles. The collections emphasize the 16th and 17th centuries in particular; its collection contains approximately 40,000 pieces, with a considerable quantity of Arabic world items, particularly from Morocco and Turkey. Its 62 exhibition rooms are within a palace near the Jardines del Retiro de Madrid. Each year, there are about 22,000 visitors.
