The Prado Museum is known for displaying one of the world’s finest art collections and is home to over 7000 works of art. These works of art by great European artists like Velázquez, Bosch, Raphael, Goya, and Rubens represent culture and history from the early 19th century all the way back to the 12th century. Because the museum is home to such a huge collection of art, it is best for visitors to come with a few works of art in mind.
