The Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid was established in 1819 with its art collection coming from the Spanish Royal Collection.

The Museo Nacional del Prado is located in Madrid, Spain near the Atoche Train Station.

The Museo Nacional del Prado is world renowned for its supreme collection of European paintings and sculptures from the 12th to the 19th Centuries. Its vast collection of 7,600 paintings, 1,000 sculptures and thousands of prints and drawings cannot be shown all together due to limited space.
