Museo del Prado 1819-2019. A place of memory
Museo Nacional del Prado. Madrid 11/19/2018 - 3/10/2019
This exhibition launches the extensive programme organised by the Museum to mark the 200th anniversary of its foundation. It offers a survey of the museum’s history that focuses on the dialogue between the Museum and society; heritage policies in Spain; the trends that have guided the growth of the museum’s collection and its transformation into a place that has allowed Spanish and foreign writers, intellectuals and artists to reflect on the country’s past and its collective identity.
- Curator:
- Javier Portús, Museo del Prado Senior Curator Spanish Painting (to 1700)
