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.
Professor of Archaeology at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Director of the Museo del Prado and the Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Managing Director of the Bellas Artes y Archivos and permanent member of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando.
