Sala 12

It all started around a table...

It was the table in which we worked in the Prado Museum, a place where we not only spent long hours in conversation, but also where our friendship began. Little by little, we conceived the idea of creating a blog where we could express and share our reflections about what we know and we love the most: Art and History, that's to say: Culture.

Once the idea had taken shape, we found the first challenge: to find the right name for the blog. After many names and infinite lists, the idea had a name: Sala 12 (Room 12)

But Sala 12 is not just a name, it is the place of a universal icon: Las Meninas. A painting that represents not just a point of reference for Art but also for the place that guards it; the place in which our project started: the Prado Museum.

In this space we want to share everything we have learned through our academic studies and incipient professional career. We believe that culture is not just a group of isolated compartments, but quite the opposite: the unity of different disciplines which speak, ultimately, about humanity. Just like in a swimming pool, where the same water fills all the lanes.. And this conviction is, definitively, what we want to communicate.
