Prado Museum opens exhibition on women's roles in art

Description

Madrid, Oct 5 (EFE). (Camera: Ramón Ayala) .- Madrid's Prado Museum and the AXA Foundation present on Monday its first temporary exhibition after reopening to the public on June 6,'Uninvited Guests. Episodes on Women, Ideology and the Visual Arts in Spain'. Women have often been depicted in art as objects of desire or saints while female artists were pushed aside. An exhibition at Madrid’s Prado Museum aims to start redressing this historic imbalance.FOOTAGE OF THE EXHIBITION.SOUNDBITES OF MIGUEL FALOMIR, DIRECTOR OF THE PRADO MUSEUM.Trandlation:"If I had to classify it, I'd say it's a necessary exhibition, necessary because it's a topic that needed to be discussed. Necessary as well because it has meant a great effort for the Prado because most of the pieces on display are ours, 40 of them have been restored specifically for the occasion. We have studied a lot, we have done a great amount of research and I think that is something that people will see."
