The Rest of the Prado

Being use to moving through museums at the speed required for the Louvre, I managed to see everying in a day in the Prado. Highlights were the Ruben´s collection (I was really disappointed with the Ruben´s room in the Louvre cause they looked like his work shop paintings ie ones that he did very little on, his assistants did and looked ´dead´), Goya´s, Bosch, Claude´s, Poussin´s and Titian´s. There was also an exhibition of Michangelo´s and Carracci´s drawings/ink studies (brilliant).

The one great thing about the Prado was apart from the Velazquez Rooms, there was hardly anyone there (also cause it is winter). Occasionally a school group would ambush the room you were in but otherwise it was great. I was able to sit in the Titian room with some of his best paintings, and there was no one else in the room.
