The Prado was magnificent. No excess queues, well signposted and easy to navigate. My only reason for giving a 4 was the Headout company we used to book tickets added more hurdles than needs be. The tickets wouldn't download in time. I had to contact customer services a few times and then had to download their App whilst off WiFi. Wouldn't use them again unless had plenty of time before the scheduled eventBranimir

Everything went smooth and the visit was enjoyable and insightful. Only, it is surprising that you are asking for photos when we have been told that taking pictures was not permitted. It is only, but big thing that was regretful.
