Prado Museum Reopens with Reduced Exhibition 'Reencuentro'

The Museo del Prado in Madrid has reopened with a reduced exhibition titled 'Reencuentro' (Reunion), running until September 13, 2020. Due to Covid-19 safety regulations, the museum operates at less than 30% capacity, allowing a maximum of 1,800 visitors per day. Only the main floor of the Villanueva building is open, with entry through the Goya Gate. The exhibition features 250 masterpieces, blending the permanent collection with a temporary curatorial selection. Tickets are reduced by 50% and must be purchased online. A time-lapse video on the museum's YouTube channel documents the relocation of artworks, including the movement of Fra Angelico's 'Annunciation' and Goya's 'The Third of May 1808' and 'The Second of May 1808'. The video also reveals behind-the-scenes care for the collection.
