MÁLAGA (Agencies) The new Carmen Thyssen Museum in Málaga is ready to open its doors inside the renovated Villalón Palace, next to Plaza de la Constitución, which is a five-minute walk from the Picasso Museum. The 230 paintings that hang from its walls have been loaned free of charge for 15 years by Baroness Carmen Thyssen, who also chairs the board of trustees and has spent the last two weeks personally overseeing every last detail of the project. The Spanish baroness, née Carmen Cervera, is a major patron of the arts, best known for the wing that houses part of her collection at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid. On the occasion of this new opening, she said the only profit she was getting out of it was the satisfaction of letting other people enjoy her artworks.>
