This video can also be seen on the official YouTube channel and social networks.
The visit is enriched by the performance of a musical program for piano in room 39 of the Villanueva building in steps (12, 13 and 16) of approximately 20 minutes.

The Museo Nacional del Prado celebrates its 203rd anniversary with free access to its collection that will welcome you with the best smile on display at the Education Desk, located at Jerónimos Gate. To reach this entrance, visitors can cross the catwalk created by DiegoAS, a graffiti artist specializing in large murals, like a trompe l’oeil. This ephemeral 3D art proposal – inspired by the landscapes of Bosch and Patinir, the loose brushwork of Velázquez and the perspective of Tintoretto – projects bridges of work and perseverance to ensure access to culture.
