This is not a standard museum visit—it’s a private, story-rich journey led by an art dealer, advisor, and cultural host with deep knowledge of Spanish and European art. You’ll explore Madrid’s two most important museums—the Prado and the Reina Sofía—with skip-the-line access, a thoughtfully curated route, and no crowds or rigid scripts. The experience is fully private and personal, with hotel pickup and a relaxed ending over a drink on a beautiful terrace, perfect for conversation and reflection. Rather than overwhelming you with facts, I’ll guide you through the artworks that shaped history—helping you connect emotionally and intellectually with what you see. It’s art as it was meant to be experienced: with presence, insight, and wonder.
Pickup included
We begin at the Prado, diving into a curated selection of masterpieces from the Renaissance, Baroque, and Romanticism. You'll encounter the visionary worlds of El Bosco, El Greco, Velázquez, Rubens, and Goya—each artwork unpacked through rich storytelling that reveals the emotion and power behind the paint.
From the Prado, we’ll take a relaxed car ride or walk down the historic Paseo del Arte. This scenic stretch connects Madrid’s great museums, offering time to reflect, shift emotional gears, and talk about how modernity reshaped art and society.
We enter the Reina Sofía to explore the bold revolutions of the 20th century: Cubism with Picasso and Gris, Surrealism with Miró and Dalí, and the heart of the visit—Picasso’s Guernica, one of the most powerful anti-war artworks in history. We close with a look at contemporary Spanish art, tying past to present.
