Museo Del Prado

Description: A visit to the world famous art museums is not a trip that most can take. However, here is an opportunity to walk through the pages of this coffee table book of the artwork on display at the Museo Del Prado. The Prado Museum officially known as Museo Nacional del Prado, is the main Spanish national art museum located in central Madrid. It is widely considered to house one of the world's finest collections of art in Europe dating from the 12th century to the early 20th century, as well as the best collection based on the former Spanish Royal Collection. Founded as a museum of paintings and sculpture in 1819, it also contains important collections of other types of works. The Prado Museum is one of the most visited sites in the world, and is considered one of the greatest art museums in the world. The photography found in the volume is brilliant, detailed and allows you, the reader, to get closer to the treasurers than if you were standing at the museum.
