History
The Royal Palace sits on the site of an earlier Alcázar destroyed by fire in 1734; the Prado grew from the 18th-century royal collection to a public museum for European art.
Conservation
Museums participate in active conservation programs and restrict behaviors (like flash photography) to protect works; travel by public transport to reduce urban congestion.
