The Museo Nacional del Prado, Spain’s national art museum, features one of the world’s finest collections of European art, and is unquestionably the best single collection of Spanish art.

It presents the globally renowned collection in chronological order, from Roman statues through to the nineteenth century, using the tastes of the Spanish royal family to tell the story of the evolution of Western art.
