The Prado Museum, located in Madrid, Spain, is one of the world's leading art museums. Designed by architect Juan de Villanueva, it first opened to the public in 1819 as the Royal Museum of Painting and Sculpture. The building itself is a magnificent neoclassical building.
The core of the museum's collection is treasured by generations of Spanish royal family members, and it is particularly renowned for its masterpieces of the Spanish school. It boasts unparalleled works by masters such as Goya, Velázquez, and El Greco, with Velázquez's "Las Meninas" being its crowning jewel. The museum also houses a rich collection of rare paintings from European schools, including Italian (such as Titian) and Flemish (such as Rubens).
The Prado Museum is not only a sanctuary of Spanish art but also a core institution that bears witness to the history of European painting. Its irreplaceable collection attracts countless art lovers every year.
