I think the Prado could be a full program of the Prado, something for people to visit online, to go through it, approach it and then as a prize someone could receive them at the Museum "on the carpet", as one teacher used to say. Because the quality of what is shown, the quality of the reproduction, is superb. It is magnificent to be able to get into the background of The Giaconda deep down. That is really more important than seeing the painting in real life. You can learn much more. I would stress the use of technology to help learn about things, to learn how to see, how to look at art. Then as a prize you can go and see the work live. The greatest thing would be able to touch a work of art, but that's not going to happen, except if it's a sculpture, which is something you cannot do here, but you can do it at other museums.
Secondary education professor, she joined the Museum under the leadership of Alfonso Pérez Sánchez to create the Office of Education, the origin of the today's Education Area. In 1986, she was appointed Head of the Education and Teaching Department.
