My grandchildren should know what a watchman and a carpenter are

Luis Lapausa Arango, General Operations Service Technician (Carpenter), 1960-2008
I remember the time I've spent at the Museum, very many years. And there are memories from the people before me, people who worked here with me. Many of them already turned the last page. The memories I'm talking about are about how we lived here. When you retired, they simply bade you farewell. If you had a friend or two you could go out for a glass of wine with them but that was it. My grandchildren... they should know what a watchman and a carpenter are at the Prado Museum. They had the example of their grandfather, their mother and their father, because the whole family once worked here.
He began to work at the Museum as an elevator operator, then as a guard and finally, from 1997, as a carpenter for the Museum, which was his true profession.
