National Prado Museum

On Friday, I went to the National Prado Museum in Madrid. For those of you who do not have much interest in art, the Prado museum is one of the most famous and spectacular museums in the world; featuring art by Francisco de Goya and David Velazquez. It features one of the world's finest collections of European art, from the 12th century to the early 19th century, based on the former Spanish Royal Collection, and unquestionably the best single collection of Spanish art. I met up with a group of other students from UC3M and we got to tour the museum for free! The art was spectacular and I was astounded by the various works of art. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take pictures. Not even words can describe how amazed and impressed I was by the wonderful art! We were only there for 2 hours, but I still got to tour almost half of the museum. Next time, I shall visit the other half.

Before the museum, on the way there, I took some pictures of a library and a fountain which I found very beautiful. Pictures are below:
