Prado Museum
tips & insights
Avoid
the
crowds
Waiting lines can be long outside and gallery spaces crowded inside. The time to come is between 12 to 2 p.m. when most people are eating or enjoying their siestas.
How
to pronounce
Prado: prah'-doh.
What
Prado
means in Spanish
Prado means meadow in Spanish (centuries ago there was a meadow in the area).
Flemish
art treasures
They include the Garden of Earthly Delights (by Bosch) and The Three Graces (by Rubens).
Space
limitation
Despite the fact that the Prado Museum is large, it has sufficient space to display just one-sixth of all its 8,000+ paintings at one time. They have to be rotated.
