The first cinematic journey through the rooms, stories and emotions of one of the most visited museums in the world. Its wealth of over 8000 art treasures is a spell-binding experience drawing almost 3 million visitors to Madrid every year. ACADEMY AWARD WINNER JEREMY IRONS will be guiding spectators on a discovery of a heritage of beauty and art.'When abandoned by Reason, Imagination produces impossible monsters; united with her, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of their wonders.' Francisco Goya. Magnificent masterpieces tell the story of Spain and of an entire continent. We are in a site of memory and a mirror to the present with 1700 works exhibited and a further 7000 art treasures preserved there. Its collection tells the story of kings, queens, dynasties, wars, defeats and victories, as well as the story of the feelings and emotions of the men and women of yesteryear and of today, whose lives are intertwined with the museum's: rulers, painters, artists, architects.
