Spain’s Prado Museum Gets Extended

Pradoslide11.jpgThe Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain is one of my favorite museums and today it opens a shiny new 237,000 square foot extension. King Juan Carlos and Queen SofĂ­a attended the opening ceremony for the extention designed by Spanish architect Rafael Moneo at a cost of $219 million.

The New York Times has a beautiful slide show of the new wing, including photos of its construction and the story behind it.

The interior looks lovely but the exterior sticks out like a sore thumb in my opinion.
