Prado Museum European masterpieces

Paseo del Prado Madrid 28014 +1 34 91 330 2800 http://www.museoprado.mcu.es

Considered one of the world's most important art galleries, it exhibits paintings by Goya, Velázquez, Murillo, Zurbarán, El Greco, Ribera, Titian, Boticelli, Tintoretto, El Bosco, Rubens, Van Dyck, Poussin and Durer. Carlos III commissioned Juan de Villanueva to design this beautiful building, which was converted into an art gallery in 1819. In July of 2005 the Council of Ministers approved a EUR44.6 million expansion plan which adds 50% more of the museums total space, and allows for 500 more works of the permanent collection to be showcased. On October 30th 2007 the annex opened with a collection of 19th century Spanish artwork which enabled the Prado to reclaim its glory as a crown jewel of Europe. Come for the art; stay for the architecture. Review © 2009, Wcities
