Creating a heritage collection: the entry of three private libraries into the Prado Museum Library
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 June 2016
Abstract
The library of the Prado Museum has undergone major development in recent years and reached a highpoint with the opening, in 2009, of new premises in the Casón del Buen Retiro. During the past few years three important private libraries have been incorporated into the library and these, taken together with the holdings of early material that already existed and a number of recent acquisitions, have formed an important special collection of some 4500 rare books, mainly on the subject of art history.
