Experience art in capital letters at the Museo Nacional del Prado completely FOR FREE!
It stands as the cultural epicenter of Spain and a must-visit stop in the heart of Madrid. Defined by the renowned historian Jonathan Brown as "the most important museum in the world for European painting," this unique space gathers the largest collection of masterpieces spanning from the 15th to the 19th century.
Walk among the canvases that changed the history of humanity and you will stand face-to-face with legendary creations such as Velázquez's Las Meninas, Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, Rubens's The Three Graces, or Goya's moving portraits. Strolling through its galleries is not just about admiring paintings, but taking a fascinating journey through the secrets, politics, mythology, and emotions of the greatest minds in Spanish and international painting.
In addition to housing one of the most prominent art galleries on the planet, the neoclassical building itself designed by Juan de Villanueva and its modern extension are part of the famous Art Walk (Paseo del Arte), declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For students and teachers, the Prado becomes the ultimate classroom: a living and endless educational resource where history takes on a completely new dimension.
