Museo
Del Prado - If you are looking for a day
of culture and history, then one of the best places
you can visit is the Museo del Prado. This museum
offers a wealth of things to see, and provides a fascinating
day out.
The Madrid Prado Museum is considered
internationally to be one of the world’s most
significant art institutions. The majority of the
work by both Goya and Velasquez is housed here, along
with many and notable works by El Greco, Murillo and
Zurbaran. The galleries are similarly home to a substantial
collection of Flemish paintings including work by
Rubens, Van Dyck and Rembrandt.
Wandering through the hallways of this extensive
museum is a lovely way to spend the afternoon (especially
if it happens to be raining). The work on display
here is both eye-catching and interesting, and it
is easy to find staff members to answer any questions
that you may have.
If you do decide to go to the Prado Museum,
make sure that you organise your visit properly, as
there is a lot to see here. Opening times can vary
depending on the season, so check this out in advance
before you go.
