Voces del Prado

The Prado Museum's twin brother

José María Luzón Nogué, Museum Director, 1994-1996

I don't miss it because now I am the director of a museum that resembles the Prado in many ways, and where I have more freedom and greater capacity to do things. I'm at the Museum of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, which is a twin brother as far as the collections are concerned. Many collections begin here and end over there, or vice versa. They are one same thing. We have joint projects and I am truly satisfied to be able to do very similar things. Research, studies, projects. It's a collection guided by artists, because of the things artists see in the paintings and their utility.
