You step off Paseo del Prado into a hushed gallery where color and gesture push toward the edges of a child’s curiosity. The guide kneels to meet small faces, slides a playful quiz across a bench and points to a brushstroke that once startled a critic — an afternoon of discovery measured in questions and short, bright revelations.
