Well,today i'm going to write about the "museo del prado". All those have been in Madrid, know that this museum is considered one of the best museums of Europe as Spanish painting. I am from Madrid, and i have been in this museum very many times and even so I do not get tired to go. If you travel to Madrid I recommend to you to visit it,because is very important.
-----------Collections----------------
-Spanish paintings from 1110 to 1850. This are my favorite collection, because it represents the 70 % of the museum.Some famous pictures are "Las meninas" of Velazquez.
-Flemish and dutch paintings from 1430 to 1700. The best picture for me is "the three Graces" of Peter Paul Rubens.
-Italian Paintings from 1300 to 1800.
-French paintigns from 1600 to 1800. Well,here and in my opinion, there are a very good picture about Louis IVX,very amazing!.
-German paintings from 1530 to 1800.
-Sculpture : Mainly classic and Italian sculpture.
-Decorative Arts.
Recently it finished the reform of extension of museum, and will be new pictures, because the patrimony exposed in the museum is10% the rest is kept to the delay of a site to be placed.
----------Information of the museum------------------
-MUSEUM OPENING HOURS: Tuesday to Sunday and public holidays : 9 am- 9pm,24 and 31 December and 6 january . 9am - 2 pm
-FREE ADMISSIONS FOR ALL: .Sunday .2 May (regional holiday) .18 may ( international day of museums) .12 october (National Holiday) .6 December (constitution day)
By the way, I request to you please that if yo visit the museum try to be carefull with the flash of the camera , because whenever I go I see people doing photos with flash and that deteriorates the pictures.
By other hand I animate to you to visit it because it is a piece more of the art .Thank you very much and I hope that it finds served the opinion to you. Good bye!Adiós!
