The Famous Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain
It is an honor for me to visit one of the most famous and finest museums in Europe and in the whole world as well. Yes, I had the chance to go inside Prado Museum during my second visit in Madrid last March 2012. I believed you all know that Madrid is the capital city of Spain.
The weather was not so called last mid-March 2012 in this city. Everyday I walk around to the different direction in this city. One day I decided to go inside Prado Museum. I did that because our tour guide during our holiday in Spain last December 2011 told us that if we have the chance to go inside, we must take it.
Prado Museum, known as Museo del Prado in Spanish features one of the world’s finest collections of European art, from the 12th century to the early 19th century, based on the former Spanish Royal Collection. It is unquestionably the best single collection of Spanish art. El Prado is one of the most visited sites in the world. It is considered to be among the greatest museums of art.
The Prado Museum contains works of the famous painters such as Diego Velázquez, Titian, Peter Paul Rubens,Francisco de Goya and Hieronymus Bosch. Their paintings are among the highlights of the collections.
Sad to say, it is not allowed to take photos inside the premises. I am just sharing a snapshot taken from outside the museum.
