Museums

With 1,500 museums and museum collections, Spain ranks eighth in the world and second in Europe.

We owe this position to our history and the culture left to us by all the civilizations that have passed through our country over the centuries.

From the famous Prado Museum, with more than 27,000 artistic objects. It is worth more for what it keeps than for what it shows, since on its walls hang 1,150 paintings, but in its storerooms rest 8,600 works that have not yet seen the light. And it would take 25 museums of the same size to display its entire collection...

...even the one called The Smallest Museum in the World, located in Barcelona.
