Geocache Description:

MUSEO DEL PRADO





Este caché pretende ser un homenaje al primer caché virtual de Madrid escondido en Febrero de 2003 en este mismo lugar.   Madrid, when you are there

El Museo Nacional del Prado, una de las mejores pinacotecas del mundo preside uno de los itinerarios turísticos más visitados de la capital: el Paseo del Arte.

El edificio que hoy sirve de sede al Museo Nacional del Prado fue diseñado por el arquitecto Juan de Villanueva en 1785, como Gabinete de Ciencias Naturales, por orden de Carlos III. El Real Museo, que pasaría pronto a denominarse Museo Nacional de Pintura y Escultura y posteriormente Museo Nacional del Prado, abrió por primera vez al público en 1819. El primer catálogo constaba de 311 pinturas, aunque para entonces en el Museo se guardaban ya 1510 obras procedentes de los Reales Sitios.



El inventario de bienes artísticos comprende, a febrero de 2017, más de 35 000 objetos, desglosados en 8045 pinturas, 10 219 dibujos, 6159 grabados y 34 matrices de estampación, 971 esculturas (además de 154 fragmentos), 1189 piezas de artes decorativas, 38 armas y armaduras, 2155 medallas y monedas, 5306 fotografías, 4 libros y 155 mapas.



Para registrar el caché como encontrado:

1. Antes de registrarlo, envíame por email la respuesta a la siguiente pregunta:
En el lado derecho del pedestal de la estatua (ver foto) hay una frase grabada ¿Que nombre y apellido aparece en esa frase?


No publiques las fotos de la respuesta ni la escribas en tu log.  

2. Incluye en tu log una foto de ti, tu nick o tu GPS con la estatua de Goya al fondo.

Cualquier registro que no cumpla estas dos sencillas condiciones, será borrado sin aviso. 





This cache is intended to be a tribute to the first virtual cache of Madrid hidden in February 2003, which was located at the same place. Madrid, when you are there

The National Museum of the Prado, one of the best art galleries in the world, presides over one of the most visited tourist routes from the capital: the Paseo del Arte. 


The building that is now the home of the Museo Nacional del Prado was designed in 1785 by architect of the Enlightenment in Spain Juan de Villanueva on the orders of Charles III to house the Natural History Cabinet. The Royal Museum, which would soon become known as the National Museum of Painting and Sculpture, and subsequently the Museo Nacional del Prado, opened to the public for the first time in November 1819. The first catalogue of the Museum, published in 1819 and solely devoted to Spanish painting, included 311 paintings, although at that time the Museum housed 1,510 from the various royal residences, the Reales Sitios, including works from other schools.



The collection currently comprises around 8,200 drawings, 7,600 paintings, 4,800 prints, and 1,000 sculptures, in addition to a large number of other works of art and historic documents.




To log the cache as found you must:

1. In the right side of the pedestal of the statue, (see photo) there is an engraved phrase:
What name and surname appears in that sentence? Send me an email with the answer. Please don't write that answer in your log.




2. Attach to your log a photo of you, your nick or your GPS or smartphone with the Goya statue in the background. 
  
Any log that does not meet these two simple requirements will be deleted without notice.
