Museo Del Prado

How long can you take kids into a fine arts museum?  We survived about 2 1/2 hours.  All in all it was pretty great.  Steven took us around to the ones that we needed to see and he wanted to tell the kids about and then we were done.

 Las Meninas by Diego Velazquez
Steven teaches a full section on just this painting for some of his classes so it was important for our kids to see it. He has talked to them about it many times before this moment.

We saw tons of other pieces throughout the museum I can't talk about them all but it was a good morning  to try and help the kids understand a little more about art and the different time periods we will see throughout our stay in Spain.
