The entry price to the museum at other times will remain at six euros (8.50 dollars).
Until now the museum has been free on Saturdays between 2:30 pm and 9:00 pm and Sundays between 10:00am and 2:30pm.
The museum, which displays over 2,000 works, has become a major attraction in the Spanish capital since it opened in 1992 at a former hospital.
It is considered one of Spain's three great museums along with the Prado Museum and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum which are also in Madrid.
