Charming Museo del Prado

November 24
The Museo Nacional del Prado is certainly one of the largest museums in the world. It seemed impressive, magnificent and very interesting. One of the additional advantages of Museo Nacional del Prado is the opportunity to visit the museum for free from 18.00 to 20.00, although it is clear that this time is not enough for inspection. For those who want to explore the museum in comfort, the entrance ticket is 15 euros, the audio guide is plus 5 euros...

The world famous art collection. But there are difficulties with navigating the museum: it is not entirely clear where exactly the inspection begins; when moving from hall to hall, there are very few arrows indicating the number of the hall you enter; the numbers of the halls are written in small pieces, which adds problems with orientation for people with poor eyesight. When entering, be sure to take a museum plan, it will help a lot. One of the advantages is the friendly staff: they will explain, show, and help. Tickets can be purchased both online and at the box office. If you are not a direct connoisseur of the museum's collection, I recommend taking an audio guide, which is available in many languages and easy to use.

The most beautiful museum! A huge collection of masterpieces! I am absolutely delighted with the museum and I advise everyone to visit it, or better yet, more than once!

One of the best museums in the world! Even if you don't understand anything about art, try to go there and maybe something will wake up in your soul. This campaign will not be in vain anyway, you will become better and perhaps begin to move in the better direction of your life.
The lyrical part of my review is finished, now it is vital. Entrance to the museum after 6 pm is free for everyone in general. For this, I love Spain very much, after all, the authorities somehow try to educate their population and visitors. You will never get such luxury from the museum management here. Mucho Grassies, amigos!

We went there in several visits. The first day is the first floor and so on...another day to fix it . Review. The abundance of masterpieces takes your breath away. It is better to go with an audio guide. For comparison: you can't get to the Prado after lunch. The queue is huge. Opposite is the Museum of Modern Art. No one. Still
The people are not so stupid.

The big museum, after the Hermitage and the Tretyakov Gallery, was not so impressive. There is something to see.

It's amazing! Flemings, Italians, Spaniards, Dutch! Van Eyck, Bosch, Brueghels, Rubens, Raphael, Titian, El Greco, Velasquez, Murillo, Goya, Rembrandt and many other worthy ones! I recommend that you study the guidebook in advance. It is available in Russian. This will allow you to grasp a lot even in one day. Just going to look at pictures is much more boring :)

Great! Bosch, El Greco, Velasquez, Goya, Brueghel, Rubens, Titian, etc. - it's all in one place! Gorgeous! One disadvantage: they are not allowed to take photos, but I wanted to take photos of their paintings as a souvenir. It is a must to visit!

Most of the collection is made up of Spanish court artists, which is a bit tiring. But in general, the place is a must-visit

Of course, you have to go to the Prado. But not for the whole day, so that at the end you don't collapse from fatigue, when all the masterpieces are mixed up in your head. You can't spoil this porridge with oil, and oil paintings in excessive quantities can cause the opposite effect to what is expected: instead of admiring, "eat up" painting to satiety...
Taking the museum's information card and an audio guide in Russian (for € 6), I deliberately made up the route very selectively, knowing in advance who I want to see in the Prado first: Velasquez, El Greco, Goya and Bosch. I am close to the position of art historians who recommend giving preference to 3-4 paintings per visit (not even to the authors!). Therefore, without ignoring Titian, Rubens, Tintoretto, Brueghel, Durer, whose paintings I passed by, moving from hall to hall, I spent most of the time before the museum closed in Hall 56a – Hieronymus Bosch Hall, where the triptychs "Garden of Earthly Delights" and "Hay Cart" are exhibited, as well as "The Seven Deadly Sins." I prepared in advance for meeting these paintings by visiting the lecture "Monsters of Hieronymus Bosch: Aesthetics of the Ugly" in Moscow, so that allegories and symbols would become a little more understandable when considering a variety of small figures and outlandish creatures.
Spending two 2–hour days in the Prado before the museum closes is the best option for an initial acquaintance with the collection, it seems to me.

I was in this museum for the pandemic. We spent the whole day there. I heard that there are long queues for free evening hours, I wanted to walk more, so we went in the morning. There was no queue at the checkout, but at the same time there were no empty seats in the wardrobe. I had to put the jackets in a backpack and walk around the museum with it. There are a lot of visitors. The museum is beautiful. A real pleasure for those who love painting. But of course you need to watch it in doses. It is impossible to cover everything at once. Therefore, I dream of visiting there several more times. If I'm not mistaken, the entrance for visitors under the age of 18 was free. There is a cafe, you can have a light snack. The museum store had a large book about the museum and the collection in Russian. I didn't buy it, now I regret it. I recommend visiting this museum.

It's just the best museum I've ever been to. Excellent collection of world art. A small warning: it is forbidden to take photos in the museum, and this small rule greatly improves the impression you will get.

An incredible, huge museum, you definitely can't get around it in one day, so it's better to choose a separate day to visit in order to slowly walk around all the significant and interesting halls…

Of course you should! I have specially withdrawn from the conference for 1 day. And I also met some there, what's good? That you can watch everything in a day that .... well, probably by ear. This is not the Hermitage, where you can get hoarse admiring on the second day... Yes, there is no one from the Russian classics here, everything is as they say long before... What I personally watched. Well, of course, if it's in Spain, then the Spaniards. Velasquez (put a bird) is a court artist of the Spanish Court. Well, there is a lot of it! Those who love Goya will be able to "feast" here, but not me. But El Greco is already happy to take a minute to look at the painting. As a "devout Catholic" from an Orthodox family, he combined east and west in his work... Contemporaries did not really appreciate it ("ridiculous", "despicable"), but in our time his tragedy of biblical stories is appreciated. The guy was tough, he walked over Michelangelo - "He was a good man, but he couldn't draw at all"BUT! The primacy of color over form, careless broad strokes (16th century!!!)... isn't this where modern painting grows? Okay next. Of course Raphael, Raphael - wonderful! A lot of Bosch... Well, you can also look at the reproduction... (this is not El Greco for you). Titian and Botticelli will not leave you indifferent. Brueghel, Tarkovsky's favorite. Remember how he painted his Hunters in the Mirror using cinematic means... However, I did not appreciate his Triumph of death... Cranes! I adore his beauties in elegant hats (Venus, Judith, Grace). Just sur (from the French surrealism, which means very good 😂). There are two of his hunts here... Well, I liked the lady with the crossbow, and Venus is in London! Caravaggio, David and Goliath, to me it's like a boy with a lute in the Hermitage. What a chord! Durer... Very advanced people want to see all three of his self-portraits. The first is in the Louvre (rebellious youth), the second in the Prado (The Master), and the third in Munich (there are many sorrows in many knowledge). I'm putting on a bird, just one for now...

I like. Every evening there are free hours, BUT: not all halls (it seems), there is a queue at the entrance, there are only two free hours. A quarter of an hour before closing, the halls begin to be closed ultimatum (they drive like sheep ;-)).... I will be in Madrid - I will definitely go again. You can buy a travel guide book - it's more interesting with it. The layout of the halls is, let's say, somewhat unobvious ;-) ... The exposition is magnificent, but some of the halls are "designed" specifically for Spaniards - it was difficult for me to understand the historical value of the gallery of statues of the rulers of the Spanish kingdoms. I liked. I really liked it.

Previously, there were free days on Wednesdays: stand for 2 hours, and you're inside. A good and interesting exposition, the museum itself does not need to be advertised. But it happens that paintings are under restoration, and it's sad.

An absolutely accessible museum. It works seven days a week. The last two hours are free every day. There is no problem getting in. This is convenient, because you can go every evening aiming at 1-2 artists, and the collection, as you know, is bottomless
