I don’t miss the camera, because I ended up being very tired of it. The first thing I do when I reach the Museum, and I tend to come early, is to go to the Velázquez Hall and stand in front of Las Meninas. I’ll stay there for a while. Just looking. Remembering past times. And just reminiscing … And then I continue my stroll around the Museum. I worked here for 46 years, not counting the visits I made before, because when I was a student I used to come here, and I used to walk round with my father too. Well, the Museum is like my second home.
He joined the Museo del Prado as an art photographer, working there for four decades. He is the son of David Manso, the Museum's first police officer and also its first photographer.
