Hello, I went on a Monday and it was busy but if you have been to the museums in London, it was no busier than those. It is an excellent museum...regardless of the crowd, you will not be disappointed. I almost didn't visit this museum and I am so glad that I did! I liked it better than the Prado museum. Also, if you are going in September, it might be after most of the schools have reopened and will be fewer tourist. Just a thought. Enjoy! You will love Madrid!
