El Prado

Spanish art institution

El Prado is the principal art museum in Madrid, Spain, housing one of the world's finest collections of European painting.

Works by Velázquez, Goya, El Greco, and Bosch form the core of its holdings.

The name means "the meadow" in Spanish, referring to the tree-lined promenade where the building stands: We spent the morning at the Prado.
