Museo Nacional del Prado Youtube Channel

A New York Times article this year drew attention to the Prado’s surprise-hit Instagram films, in which curators, visitor assistants, conservators and other museum staff are shot informally in the galleries as they explore major works on the museum’s walls. Miguel Falomir Faus, the Prado’s director, spoke movingly about the museum continuing to operate this year even while its doors were closed, before delivering a hugely entertaining look at Tintoretto’s epic The Washing of the Feet (1548-49). Its YouTube channel is full of delights and also has subtitles, unlike the Instagram feed: a whole section is dedicated to conservation, for instance, with Elisa Mora—an Instagram star—restoring Goya’s Winter (1786) among the highlights. There’s also a series of films about works in the collection for children.
