The Prado Museum

Doni Cristina
 The Prado Museum is the main Spanish national art
museum, located in central Madrid. It is widely considered
to have one of the world's finest collections of European art,
based on the former Spanish Royal Collection, and the single
best collection of Spanish art.
 The Prado Museum opened on November 10,
1819. The building designed by Juan de
Villanueva was originally conceived as a house of
science but,
encouraged by
his wife Maria
Isabel of
Braganza, King
Ferdinand VII
finally decided
to use it as a
museum, to
store the royal
paintings.
