The Prado Museum is one of the most important museums in the world and in the city of Madrid .

It was created by the Spanish monarchs who reigned between the 16th and 17th centuries. All of them were great art collectors.

Together with the Thyssen Museum and the Reina Sofía Museum , they form part of the so-called “Madrid art triangle”.

The Prado Museum and its collections are a reflection of the history of Spain.
