Legendary movie star Jeremy Irons narrates a visit to the Prado Museum in Madrid, exploring its 1700 works and 7000 art treasures. The museum's origins date back to the 19th century, when King Carlos V of Spain and I of Germany founded it as a legacy for the country. Over time, his descendants became both kings and art dealers, collecting works from the last six centuries of Spanish art, including pieces by Tiziano, El Greco, Velázquez, Rubens, Bruegel, Mantegna, Goya, and Bosch. The Prado Museum is a cradle of universal art, attracting 3 million visitors annually and recognized as one of the most important museums in the world, preserving a treasure of incalculable value and cultural heritage for humanity.
