Museo Nacional del Prado

Abstract

The Museo Nacional del Prado, created in 1819, is the tenth most visited museum in the world15 and houses arguably the world's finest collection of Spanish paintings. Less than ten percent of the collection (some 1,300 of the most important works) is exhibited in the Prado itself. Around 3,100 works (known as the 'Prado Disperso,' or 'Dispersed Prado') are on display in other museums and official buildings (such as embassies and palaces), while the rest are in storage. To make the most of its large collection, the Prado frequently collaborates with other leading institutions such as New York's Metropolitan Museum or the Paris Louvre. In 2008 the Prado had a budget of €49 million and received a record 2.7 million visitors.KeywordsSaving BankGroup VisitGift ShopTemporary ExhibitionProvincial MuseumThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
