Commemorations

The Museo del Prado opened to the public on 19 November 1819 as a Royal Museum of Painting and Sculpture. In 2019, they celebrate their Bicentenary a commemoration that will reveal the path covered since 1819 until today.

Around this idea gravitates the ambitious programme of the Bicentenary that has the support of Acción Cultural Española (AC/E) to some of its projects.
