Hall of the Muses

Located in the heart of the Villanueva Building, this room, shaped like an apse and covered in red Pompeian stucco, was redesigned by Rafael Moneo in 2007 and has a great power to evoke the notion of museum space. Its dimensions, characteristics and location make it a unique setting for holding presentations, receptions, cocktails, meetings, concerts, recitals and similar events.

Auditorium

It is located on the ground floor of the Jeronimos Building and was designed by Rafael Moneo.

Cloister

With a square floor plan and two floors, the Jeronimos Cloister has great historical significance as it is part of the Monastery of San Jerónimo el Real, founded by King Henry IV. Rafael Moneo's extension project conceived its rehabilitation as an integral part of the Prado Museum, maintaining its own character and respecting its exact original layout.

It houses the sculptures that the Lions made of the Austrians, as well as the Museum's painting and sculpture restoration workshops, all arranged around a spectacular skylight that allows the space to be used for holding tribute events, dinners, cocktails, concerts or receptions.

‍Capacity: 400 people

Rooms of the permanent collection

The Villanueva building is almost entirely dedicated to exhibiting the Museum's painting and sculpture collections, which are among the best in the world. The preservation of the works of artists such as El Greco, Tiziano, Velázquez or Goya is compatible with the organization of exclusive visits when the Museum closes its doors to the public.
