The Royal Museum of Painting and Sculpture, which in 1868 was known as the National Museum of Painting and Sculpture and later the National Museum of the Prado opened to the public on November 19, 1819, with 311 paintings from the Royal Collection, all by Spanish authors, hung in its walls. In 2019 the museum celebrates its Bicentennial.

Speaking after the video screening King Felipe said, “The Prado is much more than the privileged physical space of an innumerable amount of masterpieces, because, over time, it has also been erected, as the title of the inaugural exhibition of the Bicentennial, in a place of memory, of our memory”.

The royal couple was given the tour of the museum when in Room A and B they inaugurated the exhibition “Museo del Prado 1819-2019-A place of memory”.

The exhibition displays and promotes a journey through the history of the Museum. It shows the contribution of the Crown to the museum, the journey of the museum, its role in Spanish Society,  the trends that have guided the increase of its collections, the conversion of the Prado into a “place” that has served for national and international writers, intellectuals and artists to reflect on its past and collective identity.
