Discover a different side of the Prado, where every masterpiece tells a deeper story. Our journey celebrates the historical mastery of these great works, yet looks beneath the surface to decode the archetypes and symbols hidden within the art.

We explore three distinct layers of the Prado’s masterpieces:

* The Artist’s Vision: Uncover what these works reveal about the masters who created them, their techniques, and their historical context.

* Universal Archetypes: Discover the "Hero’s Journey," the "Shadow," and other timeless patterns found within these canvases.

* The Soul of the World: See how these masterpieces mirror not only our inner lives but the shared spirit of the world itself.

This holistic experience is for everyone seeking a deeper, more soulful encounter with Madrid’s cultural treasures.

* Group Size: Maximum 10 people.

* For Everyone: Welcoming all who value a thoughtful perspective.

* Note: Museum entrance fee is not included.
