El Prado- The World's Best Fine Art Museum

El Prado is one of the most prestigious and superb art galleries in the world. Located in Madrid, Spain, it contains the original paintings of famous artists such as Goya, Velazquez, Picasso, and Gaudi, who have created some of the largest and most significant art movements in history.

The different collections feature various "schools" including the Italian school, early Flemish school, and the Spanish school. The schools make up beautiful sculptures, paintings, drawings and many more various forms of art. These different works of art have survived for many years, and have been rearranged and moved throughout different places and times including to Geneva, Switzerland, and being moved again during the Spanish Civil War.

 The fine art museum, which was created in 1819, is located in central Madrid, and experiencing this magnificent treasure for oneself should, without a doubt, be on one's bucket list of what to see. The experience is a unique one, and not only is the art incomparable, but the educational information is truly worth it.
