The Prado Museum is one of the greatest art museums in the world. It has a large collection of textbook level famous paintings, such as the "Palace", "Durer Self-Portrait", "Naked Maha" and so on, which are highly featured in Western art history books. Is it true that mentioning these names seems to return to the art history class of a few years ago?
I will not disclose the details of the museum, the sum up is very shocking, to go to Madrid must go must go must go must go!
I finally went to visit the Prado exhibition in Urumi with the former Spanish students before it closed this weekend. For a Spanish graduate like me, the exhibition was more a reunion of old friends than an appreciation of art. After all, it's been ten years since I last saw it.
In 2014, when I was an exchange student in Madrid, I visited the Prado Museum for the first time with the feeling of pilgrimage. After a moment of hesitation in the bookstore at the entrance, I bought a Guidebook for nearly 30 Euros with my teeth. Later, I carried it back to China with great treasure, even though my luggage was overweight.
During the next ten years, I traveled between Latin America, Hong Kong, and various cities on the mainland, with ups and downs in my mood and experiences. Spain has become an old dream for me, both real and imaginary. Now I see Pradori's painting, not in a foreign country, but it comes to me, to my own country.
Sometimes it is felt that the life of a minority language person is constantly experiencing the gathering and separation of people and cultures in distant countries, like a bird without feet that cannot land. But on such a quick flight, it's a privilege to be reunited with something that hasn't changed. They won't ask you how you've been all these years, they'll just nod at you and say, "Hello again, traveler."
Prado, how long will it be before I see you again.

Of the 70 paintings in the Prado Museum's collection, 16 left Spain for the first time, 9 left the Prado for the first time, and more than half made their first appearance in Asia. These works are not only the world famous great masterpieces, but also the vivid testimony of the peak of science, economy, culture and other aspects of Spanish history, and belong to the artistic treasures of all mankind.
The details of the painting are very worthy of consideration, and most of the paintings are also very thoughtful to add notes to the highlights of the details.
Come out across the street you can see Spain's famous candy shop, you can taste the purchase, the taste is not nougat oh.
