What's included in Myth & Meaning at the Prado Journey Through Classical Legends
(Subject to Option Inclusions)This experience offers a curated journey through the Prado Museum’s most powerful mythological paintings—guided by an art dealer and cultural storyteller who brings each scene to life. You’ll bypass the long lines and join a small group of curious travelers for a 90-minute exploration of works by Titian, Rubens, Velázquez, Goya, and others. Each artwork becomes a portal into ancient myths—stories of gods, heroes, love, punishment, and transformation. Rather than racing through the museum’s greatest hits, we’ll slow down and linger with intention—uncovering the symbolism, cultural context, and emotional layers hidden within the art. Along the way, you’ll gain fresh perspectives not only on mythology, but on what these timeless stories reveal about us. This experience is designed for thoughtful travelers who seek meaning, beauty, and a deeper connection to art.
