A relative newcomer to Madrid's scene, the Clothing Museum opened in 2004. It's a real treat for anyone interested in dressmaking, tailoring and clothing through the ages. The chronologically arranged collection spans over 160,000 garments, the very oldest of which are some precious fragments of Coptic cloth and Hispano-Muslim pieces. The rotating displays cover the last six centuries of Spanish fashion, including a few fascinating monographic rooms devoted to luminaries, such as the haute couturier Balenciaga or Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo, whose clients included Isadora Duncan.
