About this experience
In the museum of Madrid, where styles of different epochs are represented, paintings of various genres by artists from different times, it is so difficult to navigate independently. Only by understanding all cultural and temporal layers, you will get a deep emotional impression from works of art. That's why I offer you my services as an art guide!
